I saw it and thought I better post a thread so others could post results. I am sure there will be more.

Almost 30 horsepower with nothing but fuel change and a tune is nothing to sneeze at.

I imagine it will go higher with headers and free flowing intake and more tuning.

Basically the same as S550 numbers as you would expect. Not quite as big of a gain because the factory 93 tunes were a little hotter but about the same end result

Would it have been 28hp if he had the air lids on?
Did he dyno with the lids on for a “before” then tune and pull the lids off for a “hero” pull?

Did they dyno it stock tune on E30…

I did not hear what fuel was used for baseline?

Since E85 uses more fuel per mile, you will be stopping every 150 miles for fuel.

So these cars can run e85 with a tune only? No fuel component upgrades?

Yes, just like the S550...

He said he did that "this morning," twice, but it does not say whether it was before or after the baseline. He did say it "made no difference on the dyno whatsoever."

He does not say.

Hmmm . . .

His video four days earlier shows a 418 horsepower number on 93 . . .

His baseline for this video is 406 . . .

Other tuners have shown a 20hp swing depending on temps etc on back to back pulls...

He went for a hero pull. Make the car go as low as you can and do your mods/tune.
Every video I seen if you want to ”race” the dyno you have the lids off.
