Hello jackd,

I'm the owner of the dyno'ed E280 which Eivind Soltvedt wrote about. Yes, the car i pure stock except from the intake job which is very primitive using stock filter (removed innertube + increased filterbox inlet).
When dyno'ing the car I didn't expect any gain caused by this - and still don't. I want to believe that the dyno numbers are correct (of course!).
PS! The two guy's owning the dyno are racing their modified Lingenfelter Corvette's in low ten's.

Just before my run a newer BMW diesel was tested. The former owner had told him that the car was chipped. Well, the dyno proved the bluff. Anyway, I was hoping for 150+ dyno HP, but got surprised by 168,9 - and so was the dyno owners. The conditions were about 17 Celisius degrees.
My conclusion holds until a friend of mine have got tested his -95 E280.

regards,
