N52 3IM BPC Tune First Impressions

After some brief confusion over a missing email, I flashed my BPC tune late this morning and drove 25 or so miles to see what's up.

Ladies and gentlemen, the butt dyno is very pleased. The car is stronger all over the rev range. Sixth gear is particularly improved on the highway as it seems to have a lot more passing power.

I did a brief zero to 145ish run (just to make sure the speed limiter was removed, of course ) and even with the windows and sunroof down it pulls nicely deep into fifth gear. I ran out of road at that point.

Lower end power does seem improved as well, but I spent more time on the highway than on surface streets just now. The power gains above 3000 RPM are very apparent.

I've noticed the motor revs more quickly in neutral which is nice. I match revs more often than not so I'm going to have to learn not to kick the gas as hard.

I'm glad I did this. BPC Customer Service has been great.
