A bone stock M3 wasn't dynoed that day so you can't really make that statement. Based on the gains we know these modifications bring to the table, a stock M3 probably would have put down more like 330whp on this dyno on this day. But I agree the Dinan stuff on 95 octane doesn't appear to be much of an improvement compared to a comparably but much more cost-effectively modded car on 91 octane.

The RD stroker's torque curve is phenomenal. 300+ftlbs at the wheels from 2700 rpm to over 6000 rpm. That kind of broad powerband is pretty amazing, it's basically a flat line.
