C5 dyno tune
I got my 2000 M6 dyno tuned today. It made 325hp and 335lbft with intake and borla straights. Anybody have similar numbers? I was hoping for a little more but the car has 100,000 miles on it, so i guess thats decent. Thoughts? thanks guys

wasnt sure but makes me feel better to hear you say seems high. the car definetly runs colder, temp never got close to straight up even in sitting traffic. i have heard they can make anywhere from 300 to 315 stock depending on factory tune. mine was 310hp/322 with intake and exhaust. it feels like it pulls harder on 3rd and 4th now.

For the mods you have on the car, those numbers are about right on the mark.

300rwhp is normal for a stock M6, so you posted an additional 25hp so either the tuner found some laying around or you had some other bolt ons on it. Either way it seems like it's average and it's running well.
Congrats on the numbers!
Of course the telling dyno numbers should have a before run to get a baseline number and then an after run to see what was the result of the tune. Then you know what you paid for.

Without the Supercharger, you only have half the car it should be.
Never settle for only half the fun. 
As cheap as these cars are today it makes perfect sense to splurge a little and double the enjoyment. Like those DirectV Commercials.....don't be that guy when you could be me.....something like that.

Was the difference before and after noticeable? I have an 01 6m with cold air and Z06 cat-back tis. Runs great. A little cooler would be better in summer. I am also thinking about getting a tune. Was there a baseline dyno run? Seat of the pants difference? Thanks!
