Starting a few days after the video in the beginning of this thread I started having sluggish performance again.
I have dyno'd the car and it's very much down on power. I ran against a friend of mine in a stock SL65 and lost to him in the same manner as my modded 2006 M5 with bolt-ons.
In addition, I ran against the same stock M5 in the video at the beginning of this thread and now I'm only 1-1.5 car lengths ahead of him. Looks like I'm back to square "1" again.
I dyno'd the car last week and only put out 457 rwhp on a dynojet and the next day tried a dynodynamics with the result of only 399 rwhp.
I've recorded numerous data logs using Autoenginuity software and capturing ODB-II data and passed it along to Dinan. They don't have any answers or possible solutions for me yet. Their first response was "ship the car to us in California".
Not really an acceptable answer in my book as I would hope they would provide some basic troubleshooting steps to my dealer (i.e. - replace MAF sensors, replace throttle bodies, etc.).
Ironically, I called another Dinan installer on the east coast and they thought it sounded like a MAF sensor issue so I had both replaced today and all the adaptations cleared. It has not made a difference at all.
This is why you've not seen much from me over the past 2 weeks as I've been trying to figure out what's going on with my car. Sorry for not keeping up with the requests for dyno info and videos, but I've not had very much good results here lately.
I fully believe, and expect, Dinan will come through with flying colors. I just hope they provide some basic troubleshooting steps before we jump to the most radical next step...such as shipping my car (of course then we'll need to discuss who's responsible for shipping costs at that point).
I'll let everyone know of my progress. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
