I would leave your lady at home, nothing says bored woman like a bunch of dudes and their fast cars hanging out around a dyno.
My wife would want to strangle me if I made her hang out at Bren Dyno day.

Can't make on the march 16th. Is there going to be another one? Is the original thread updated? I thought I read there will another one in April.

Anyway, is it even worth dyno tuning for stage 1 cars?

Currently, I have JB 3 auto tune for 93 octane. I also have Cobb AP, which I'll be replacing. (warranty purpose)

Does the dyno tune make that much difference vs auto/off the shelf tune on these cars?

This March is the only dyno day for N54/N55 bimmers. Bren can pull some decent numbers compared to just the flash. Im getting my tuned with the cobb, dual intakes, an axelback, and hopefully a bigger fmic. There are just bone stock cars getting tuned though. If you have a cobb already and you can get protuned on a dyno for 400 bucks that is a great deal.

Can Bren tune a 1M and keep the steering wheel M button function and/or is it even possible to tune the car so the modified map kicks in when the M button is pressed???

I have been hesitant about the tune because the gain on a 1M is usually lower than other N54s since it's already outputting higher bhp from the factory but Bren's numbers look promising...

I know onthe subarus he could tune the sti's so the si drive could have different maps. Thats definetly something you should email him on. You should come out even if you dont get a tjne so we can check that thing out

The other thread got me curious. Can Bren tune for meth? What happens if you need to go back to stock, do they offer free re-flashes, or are they a stickler like some GIAC shops who want full price every time?

Some dynos might be known as "heart breaker" dynos, but this one looks like an "ego stroker"

The map gets stored on your AccessPort. You can reflash it back to your car at any point.

I thought at first that his dyno was "generous" but its not out of line compared to the DynoJet-esque numbers.

The thread youre talking about got confirmed with this one from Terry, saying that it certianly is possible to gain +140whp/wtq on an intake tune and e85.

Thanks for the info to the both of you!

I'm in NJ but my sister lives in Boston, so I always have a reason to come up by you guys. Only thing is, the following week is my girlfriend's spring break so I don't know if we'll take a vacation while we can (her last year of grad school), and if we will be leaving that weekend... If I can make it I'd definitely be interested in participating, so I'll let you guys know. And then I'll be going to a Tri-State 1Addicts meet the next day (3/17) in LI that I'm sure you'll all be welcome at as well. Nice chance to show off your new tunes

With downpipes and Brentune vs OTS, I had so much more torque off the line. Bren sent me his map when I first got my AP. It was so much more ridiculous vs. the Cobb OTS stage 2 Aggressive. You will feel it, and you will hating be on everything in site.

I have CCA "Ground School" 10:00 - 2:00 but I wanted to stop by and see what Bren can do with the 1M and ask some questions, still waiting on upgraded FMIC and other parts before I can tune anyway...

Do you think you guys will still be there after 2:00pm ???
