hahah im only at 317hp/253trq , everyone makes fun of my low power so I posted the ridiculously high numbers as a joke
No wonder! The highest power I've heard on here is around 800, which is super high for a light-weight car already.

I would have liked to drive one of the gxps with this upgrade. Before I bought my S, I test drove a a gxp and I found the motor to be the weakest 260hp I have ever felt. I was very disappointed with the car, but I bet this cheap upgrade really wakes things up.

How much is one of those Dinan chips for the 135/335i?

the link showed 1499 for 66/79 (over 300hp/300tq) so twice the hp and more torque (as your GM tune) for ~1000 more on a BMW instead of a pontiac, seems reasonable.

stg 2 dinan is 1999 and is around +84/121

i wouldn't really compare modding on cars though, too many other variables come into play, the above numbers are just for comparison

That, and you're comparing a twinturbo-6 versus a single turbo-4.
