I feel a dyno coming on

Now that the deal is done for trading it in, I have a 1 PM appointment today with a Dynojet dyno at South Georgia Corvette. Same dyno where I ran my K2 E.

Can you get an A/F graph, too?

What's replacing the 63 in your garage?

Just as important-I'm predicting ONLY 360 RWTq

and we all know that Tq gets us out of the gate for a respectable time!!

Yes on A/F and it's being replaced by a M6, which ironically is the E63 M6.

Nice. Be sure to post pics of the M6. I really like those cars. Which color did you choose?

Congrats. M6 is pimp. I love that C/F roof, and black on black is a classic combo. But why go from an M5 to an M6?
Can't wait for the dyno results!! Hopefully there won't be any issues getting it to work on the dyno.

Fair enough, lol. I guess I'm a sucker for practical cars. That screaming V10, room for the kids and their stuff would lure me into an M5 before I'd go for an M6. Still, I gotta have the torque to move it all, so I'll stick with just the E55 until I can simply add an M5 to the stable.

Is dyno mode just as accessible on the E63 as on the E55?

Judging by 108 MPH trap speed. I am guessing around 340 RWHP.

Good Luck!

Good choice, the M6's are fast as XXXX! I always laughed at BMW's coding for that car too...

M6 is the only vehicle BMW makes I would consider at the moment. If I didn't like having 4 doors so much I'd be torn between it and a SL55.

$1000 under sticker on M6.

Dyno was nearly a waste. New engine does not allow for quick access to RPM's or torque so neither were available. My nitrous guy was there and said he could have gotten it but would need to build something. It has something to do with the spark plugs not being accessible or something. 480rwhp on two pulls. No torque down low, it definitely kicks in later, closer to 5,000 rpms.

(Edit to correct number from 480 to 380)

Could you explain this a bit more? What do you mean that the engine does not allow for quick access to RPMs or torque.
480rwhp seems quite good... (seems more than you would expect for 507 HP at the crank)

I am confused.

A/F starts in the mid 14's and slope down to 12.2-12.5 as you near redline. Is anyone else having problems with this site running SLOW for the last few days?
