Dinan stage 2 is on sale for $349, so I couldn't resist and pulled the trigger. Hope to get it done over the weekend.

I mean go for it, I just don’t like throwing away money personally.

Installed it earlier today, very impressed. The car even has more rumble in the exhaust at idle, and pulls substantially harder through the whole RPM range. For $350, well worth it.

More rumble in the exhaust from a tune? Lol. Now that’s funny.

Lol, maybe its my imagination, but I can almost swear it has a more miscular exhaust or engine sound now.

So driving it for a few days, there is a substantial increase in power at full and high throttle, but not much difference at low and medium throttle. Wonder how other tunes compare.

I'll be installing the ESS tune next week. I'm hoping it will be close to the performance of my 04 Cobra when it was stock.

Are any flash tunes available anymore? Searches are coming up dry

I love it. Get the brick thru the wind as fast as possible. Gonna need more HP I think

I am already matching stock x5m power levels however the intake has to be completely reworked, beyond even what the M has (which sucks too) and larger turbos plus meth and right around 24-27psi will do the trick to reach my 11 second goal. Again will the stock cast pistons, rods, crank last for even a few runs at that level? Only one way to find out. A forged bottom end maybe the only way, will be interesting to see how far it can be pushed.

I am working on the intake now, a have few ideas to increase the effectiveness of those baby turbos the n63 has. Weeks away from being done. But none of this makes a difference until XHP comes out with a tune for the transmission and removes the torque limiters which I am hitting even now at just 15psi.
