Thank you to Martin and TCD for submitting your Dyno results. Craig - take a pic and send it and I'll add yours in. Others: the more data the better. If you have a dyno of your e34 sitting around, send it to me / post it and I'll digitize it and place it with the others.
The caveat of course is that there are many uncontrolled variables in making dyno runs and direct car-to-car comparisons are untrustworthy. General trends and relative gains on a single car are probably the best use...
Anyway - it's interesting to see the data. Looks like Martin's car kicks butt over stock, margins of error included!
PS - yeah - this isn't the most scientific data. Don't flame me for that! If anyone writes about " you can't really compare one car to another with just a dyno sheet" I'll have to smack you one!
BTW:
Martin's car: 1989 535im
JimC chip
Bruno's MAF setup
3.64 lsd
55deg F on a rainy hippieland late morning.
Everything else is pretty stock.
