Damn 293lb-ft at the rear wheels??? On a car that specs 310lb-ft at the crank from the factory? That's pretty damn good.

On the tune he was thinking of going with Autothority since they can do the tune without raising the rev-limiter (he rather not risk float) - I don't suppose you have the curves handy so I can get an idea for what he'd be giving up by not utilizing the higher redline, do you?

I don't have any pics of the dyno on me

Search on bimmerforums.com under e39, there's a good amount of info to be had.

Yeah, I found a whole bunch of dynos but it's a heck of a time figuring out who is posting estimated crank numbers without specifying (for instance, a bone stock car making 280hp and 307lb-ft, seems unlikely that those are the actual rear wheel numbers, unless they ran in the wrong gear).

If I know the centerline can the rest of the specs be measured with the cam in the engine and the engine in the car?
