Hello guys, I'm fairly new to the E92 M3 platform and I'm searching for the best(most hp gains) ECU and DCT tune I can get. After a lot of searching a lot of vendors/brands do not have actual number on their website, I'll add a list of the tunes I'm considering but I'm sure I will go either Gintani or Alpine. I know there is someone out there with a lot of knowledge on this topic that could help. I will eventually go SC but for the time being FBO tune will do. Thank you so much in advance.

1. Gintani Stage 2+ with e85. No hp gains on website, DCT?

2. Alpine Motorsports standard tune, +20-25 hp, with all the add-ons(DCT & E85) +15-25hp over their standard tune(total+/-50hp gain)

3. BPM Stage 2, dyno'd at 430+ RWHP

4. VF engineering, ECU + DCT, +15-20HP gain

5. Epic motorsports stage 2, +23hp gain no e85

6. Turner motorsports, no e85 and no hp gains number on website

7. Dinan Stage 1, +9hp gains

dont chase horsepower its just a number.




dont go gintani their customer service is garbage if you dont drive an aventador.

alpine is the way to go these days, the majority of ots tunes are the same shit these days, dont expect to see over 390whp if unless you plan to install cams and headers.

That's what a couple ppl has told me about gintani.

I do plan on getting cams and long tube headers but I was under the impression that you needed fine tuning (dyno tune) rather than a "of the shelf tune" if you got cams, is it true?
