Oh man, an M-tune on a 2.8 would be insane!

No sir I do not, other than what's written on the chart, of which it says SAE.

91 octane pump gas, and no charts showing boost pressure sadly. I peaked at 18 PSI, and it bled off to 14 by the end of the pull at 6500 RPM.

The numbers look good but I'm also interested in your impression of how it drives in the real world vs. your previous setup?
It drives so ridiculously smoothly! Next cars and coffee I'll let ya drive it. night and day difference!

That's the direction I'm going to head, like the "there's waivers in the glove box for you to fill out" insane.

Where do I find a car that makes me feel that way that is less than the entry price of a Veyron?

Ok so on your car you did pulls with the A tune and the M tune? I'm guessing the same boost @ 18psi dropping to 14?

Those are great numbers for a 26/8 and the M tune. Were you running the piggyback? The first dyno posted that you were hoping to beat, what mods were on for that pull?

Zeff, the M-tune and A-tune, neither of them did I mess with the boost set the controller at 18 PSI. The A-tune I got 288 at the wheels, 316 ft-lbs.

The M-tune had no piggy back, it's simply the planned setup that Rogue has for the final product of the M-tune, and his injectors. The intake, MAF, MAP, chip, and the 80# high impedance injectors, and a 3.0 BAR FPR.

The first chart I posted was with Vitesse AFM chips, apparently a mis-labeled 3.8 BAR FPR (why I was running so rich...thought it was a 3.0 BAR), Lindsey stage II intercooler, Tial wastegate, and boost controller.

Did I mention that the driver factors into the insanity?

I guess the real question is when this goes on sale? Also any idea if you can still get around stock MPG's?

I should have went to this dyno day. Instead I was cleaning wheels and trying to repair a sprinkler system.

I have used a Dynodynamics dyno on my car and a comparision to the DD would be interesting.

As for the question posed, I would suspect that the correct factor was around .22 to .25. This means around 255rwhp uncorrected (assuming 0.22). From what I have typically seen on Dynos in Denver 0.20 to .30 is kinda the extremes with 0.22 to 0.25 being pretty common.

It should improve MPG, as there is less intake restriction.... easier breathing. You'd have to try to keep your right hoof off the floor though.

I've had it on my car thru 1 tank to date, and I averaged 15 MPG because I love hearing my turbo spool...and the bypass valve releasing the pressure... this next tank should be *MUCH* better as I'm trying to drive in a somewhat sane manner
