I dont know about everyone else, but my car is lovin the cold air. Does anyone know about on average how much quicker a car is in cooler air, all else being equal, in the 1/4? Lets says better air temps of 90F and 50F? Specifically the 335i, since that is what i have.

Couch · 10-28-2008, 03:27 PM

Every car will technically run better in cooler air (although there is a limit

).

Mine is too. I love this time of year. No A/C, windows down, heat when it gets a little cold.

They're going to have ALOT of cars there...

Hunter,

I went to the shop yesterday...looks awesome. I talked to Sunil about installing the Procede rev. II. I'll probably get it done 1st week of Jan. I will probably get the dual intakes as well. What additional info can you give me about the shop, the work done, etc.?

Thanks,
Paul

darkphantom · 12-22-2008, 11:24 PM

congrats on getting the rev II! I think I may be purchasing it soon too

prich2004 · 12-23-2008, 09:26 AM

Ya, I'm really excited. I'm also getting the BMS dual cone intake. It's on sale for $99! I wonder where I can find a dyno machine in Houston...I would like to get some before and after numbers.

There's atleast 3 on the northside that I know of...

prich2004 · 12-24-2008, 03:03 PM

I found one...FWD Performance. They have an Open Dyno Day. 2 runs for $50 dollars. It is on Jan. 10. They said to call on Jan. 5th so they can set you up. Anyone else interested?

Even if you don't have a tune, it will be good to know what your car is putting down...a baseline of sorts.

Here is another Houston forum member. I am in the west Spring area and look forward to any Houston events to meet you guys including the race trak.

kfc390 · 01-06-2009, 03:07 PM

Another northwest Houston member here. Anyone going to FWD Performance on Sat to get a Dyno? I am going to get a base before I start my mods. This way I can know if I wasted my $ or not.

prich2004 · 01-07-2009, 09:18 PM

I will be there at 11am. Anyone else?

prich2004 · 01-10-2009, 03:33 PM

http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=197553 - Here are the results of my dyno. The numbers may be a little off since the runs had to be done at 4K RPM because the car kept downshifting otherwise to have max power throughout the powerband.

prich2004 · 01-15-2009, 03:51 PM

Going back to FWD Performance tomorrow after work to do some more Dyno runs. The last results were off badly. Now that I know how to properly dyno the car, I can post better results.
