Tune gains for stock cars on 91octane gas?

A lot of dyno numbers that I've seen so far were on cars running on 93 octane plus gas + test pipes.
Any dyno numbers out there of a stock car on 91octane gas?

Thanks!

I'm sure you could search and find stock numbers. A lot of folks will post stock numbers as well as after tune numbers for comparison.

The ones I've seen so far were for cars running on at least 93 octane gas.

You can check the Dyno Database for this with search capabilities.
http://www.s65dynos.com

Click "find all stock cars" -- to find all stock cars. Then type "91" in the search window to isolate to 91 octane.

Then you can "Reset all filters" and start comparing various mods to stock.

Don't expect a lot. BMW really didn't leave a lot of performance on the table with the S65, especially the late models with newer software. If you go for a tune, I would recommend someone that can also tune your DCT and servo as well.

I assume the FBO M3 had a filter as well? I did not see it listed on the dyno sheet. Definitely shows the value of going FBO if you are going to tune. I personally would not tune if I was going to leave the primaries in place.

Yes a filter was also in place at the time.
