VAC Motorsports - Dyno Tuning a classic E24 M6 with KMS ECU + Stage 3 Head

Scotts Euro market E24 M6 is without a doubt one of the best left in existence...
With immaculate paint, perfect chrome bumpers, BBS wheels... and serious VAC upgrades; this is one sexy classic BMW.

When Scotts car arrived from the west coast, it had a Dinan stroker engine and a Split Second MAF conversion.
While it was quicker than stock, Scott was disappointed with the way the car drove, the throttle response and steady state cruising. The car had a sluggish feeling versus expectations and wasn't as pleasurable to drive as he wished. This was chalked up to "the car is older, less refined" by most other shops.

After being in the care of VAC, we have changed the following:
-KMS standalone ECU installation
-Schick Camshafts
-VAC Stage 3 head upgrade
-Aluminum Radiator
-VAC Head Gasket

Breathing through a custom exhaust and OE BMW euro header, this car now runs and drives smooth like modern vehicle, all while creating serious HP!

-298WHP and 300 wheel ftlbs of torque!!!
(For reference, our dynamometer reads on the very conservative side as you can see)
-Most E46 M3s read between 250-255 WHP stock,
-E92 M3s between 331-337 WHP...

This M6 is now as great to drive as it is to look at.
A classic BMW that snaps heads going by, and snaps your neck back when you hit the gas... all while being a comfortable, and quiet grand tourer that idles like a kitten and runs on any pump gas.

Must be a dyno dynamics. This E24 sounds amazing!

@gunslingerroy: What you see here is our Dynapack. Showing that age old saying, comparing two different dynos is not as informative as comparing runs on the same dyno. Thanks for watching!

i'm assuming that's torque at the wheels and not the crank. if at the wheels...that's awesome!

[vacmotors]

@bbaggy: Yes, thats torque at the wheels! Thank you for your comment.
