It doesn't matter how many people come. This is setup by another group of people but open to everyone. Some of us just got our ECUs chipped so would like to see the gains from it.

yup, my car is stock, so i'm not expecting much but it will give me a basline to start from in case i do any engine mods later. also if the numbers come out to be strangely low, then i know there is somehting wrong with my engine, maf, wrong plugs. etc, so we'll see.

man i was the only benz that sowed up and there was like a total of 8 cars, very sad indeed. these types of turn outs really doesn't make it exciting for anyone to show up but on the plus side, i met a really kool shop owner who dropped in a v8 (7 series) motor into his scca race M3 - that thing was a beast!!!. now for the dyno runs, although my c43 posted the highest rwhp out of all the cars, (3 fixed up RSX's, 2 Maximas and 1 BMW) it was definately not the HP i was hoping for, this dyno run proved to me that my MAF was definately bad and it was running rich which explained my poor gas mileage lately. The MAF was somewhat hard to diagnose, because no CEL nor fault codes ever displayed and the car still ran strong but not strong enough according to the sheet. coming week i am going to buy a new MAF and probably rerun.

Dated 3-series all show/SL55 all go
I remember that it was posted on Bimmerforums. There was a dyno meet at the same spot 2 days before. Turnout was much bigger. There was a Brabus 6.1 rolling around.
