I guess its just simpler to look at the gains made to discount dyno differences.
Dinan's overall gain from just a stage 2 tune according to the original published works is 342-296= +46 whp gain sooo...
Has anyone seen a 46 whp gain or more?

Unfortunately, I didn't get a baseline dyno, as I should have. But, according to other 335i stock dynos (also done on dynojets), cars made 273rwhp, 268.82rwhp, and 280.22rwhp (

My numbers once again:
Dyno Run 1: 328.2rwhp; 349.2rwtq
Dyno Run 2: 328.9rwhp; 359.4rwtq
Dyno Run 3: 323.6rwhp; 361.5rwtq
My average hp: 326rwhp
Stock average hp: 274rwhp
Difference between the two: 52rwhp
In conclusion, 52rwhp > 46rwhp
But as you can see, the rwhp varies widely, partially due to different output of each individual engine, partially due to different dyno machines, and partially due to elemental factors like temperature, humidity, and altitude. So really, the fact that some people are getting 15rwhp below what Dinan advertises does not warrant an accusation of fraud. Like someone else said previously, the numbers are what they are...
