BM3 E30 vs Cary Jordan 93 AKI
Which would net higher peak power output?
Wondering if its worth the $550 for his refinements on my map or if the OTS E30 map would do it for $50...

100% worth it in my opinion.
I went from E30 OTS map to 100% E85 Jordan map on my M4 and the difference was night and day

Yes sir. Camera car is full weight 435i (which already is heavier than a 335i similarly equipped) was on a stock air box and completely stock exhaust besides downpipe. 335i had rear seats removed, aftermarket CAI I believe Injen (which adds power no matter what anyone says), and resonator delete which may not may not add power but it does further remove weight. Custom tune or not, I don’t believe straight 93oct will make more power or be quicker than E30 OTS tune.
The custom tunes NEED meth and 93 or higher ethanol content to make a difference. |

I'm not saying custom tunes don't make a difference, they just aren't worth the money on a straight 93oct tune. Now if someone is adding meth to a 93 or E30 tune (which cools the IATs and raising octane) or is going to a higher ethanol content than E30 provided they have the fueling (aftermarket HPFP), then the gains will definitely show. AmuroRay, I once posted some logs and you're more than welcome to put that on a virtual dyno. I have no clue as how to do that lol. I'm with you on the intake, maybe adds 5-10whp at most. I'm just posting all the differences that actually do add power or reduce weight to make a difference in the grand scheme of things. |

Custom tuning makes the car feel that much more like factory(no strange hiccups) while giving you the extra kick.
