Butt Dyno says PowerChip is better then othe mafless tune!

I recommend the PowerChip mafless tune over the other mafless tune that costs twice as much because that's what my dyno says....

The other tune is not worth the extra $500+ dooollars, enough said. That's MO and I'm sticking to it! Drive fast and enjoy or quit complaining and buy a Malibu.

PowerChip rules hands down! You go to a dealership one M5 is $80,000.00 and the other is $160,000 which one are you going to get!?

You realize that your butt dyno has absolutely no validity?

No sense bashing the OTHER mafless tuner only because you are happy with your Powerchip tune.



This thread should be deleted.


I am very happy with my PC tune btw.

That's exactly my point, there's not real comparisons with actual dyno sheets with 2 M5's starting as a base in as close to the exact same running condition as each other stock and then putting on 2 separate tunes and then saying one is better then the other. It's all relative...

My M5 runs much better then many people's M5's on this board stock before any software tuning. So you get some young guy or anyone trying to get by with minimal maintenance on a $80K car and then they chip it and something doesn't go right...really...no kidding.

All, these reviews of tunes saying one is better then the other is ridiculous. 20hp on a 400hp car is like a placebo effect. If you say you can feel a difference with 20hp I want what your smoking, snorting or shooting because your super human to have these magnificent skills to tell a difference.

The way I look at it is many probably never even pushed their M5's very hard and now that they have a tune they step on the gas a little more and all of the sudden the car feels amazingly faster....seriously.

Just drive the damn M5 hard and enjoy! Peace!

Nothing has happened in the grand scheme of things. Loads of people move to different companies for parts or tuning. Just look at the E46 or E92 M3 scene! People move over to other companies and nothing becomes of it. This has all started because one member decided to move over to another company. So what?

Without even doing a comparison your saying company A is better than company B. Why not just stick to reviewing what you have without bringing us into it?

This is proper low level fan boy rubbish which really doesn't belong on this forum.

As for 20hp not making a difference.... well everyone might aswell throw away their Supersprint headers because they realistically at around 20-25hp and that's only above 5000rpm.

It seems that his high mileage butt sensors are receiving wireless signals from M5s tuned by other vendors.
