Too much emphasis has been given to dyno readings unfortunately and the majority of tunes are purchased based on this.
Ultimately the best tune is the one that makes your car go quicker and improves the overall drive at the same time.
We conducted tests like this on other models and realised a substantial gain in performance over a stock car in the real world.
The problem for alot of tuners is getting the time to actually conduct such a test and more importantly conducting it in a safe environment.
We are planning very soon to hire an airstrip and carrying out these tests with videos.
We have in the past shown what our flash for the e60 m5 can do against another one with way more proven power and also our 335i and 335d upgrades.
The e92 m3 tested in the video mentioned above really needs to go up against another stock m3.

Watch this space, it definately has to be done and should mirror the power gains on the dyno.

A flash can gain you say 25hp on a dyno but if it doesn't do anything on the road then it's pretty useless other than he improved drive which quite frankly is not hard to achieve.
