Dinan D-tronics install

Here are some pics from a Dinan D-tronics install I performed yesterday on a CP M6 Gran Coupe.
Install went great, tune is being adapted currently.
Previous tune was BMS.
Vehicle has full GTHaus catless system and AFE intakes.

Why are you switching from BMS to Dinan D-Tronics?

Are you happy with the performance of the Dinan tune? Assuming the numbers of 86hp and significant torque increase by Dinan, it should be a tremendous difference...I would think

How is the torque delivery at let's say 80mph??
Does it really changes the behavior of the car?
Easy to put it down to the wheels?

Because I feel that the overall performance and drivability of the vehicle is going to improve with the design of what Dinan has.
Its a tuned ECU that is wired directly to both factory computers.
The BMS tuned worked great, but I feel that this will be overall better for the vehicle.

Yes I am. The power is so smooth across the board now. Shifting is very smooth regardless of how I accelerate. No flat spots at all.
I am very happy

It looks like a piggy back ecu , I guess the original ecu is still in place to control the DCT box . Does it get rid of the 160mph limit ?

Correct, it is.
It comes with a separate wire harness that connects to both factory engine control modules that utilizes a separate computer that has the Dinan program.

I think we are close and we can get together. The only issue is the faulty Clutch/Flywheel I have. My car is gonna go to dealer on Monday to be repaired and then I want to not push it hard for 1000 mile. after that I'm ready for this challenge so next month maybe?

Sounds great! To be honest, I really want to see the difference (performance wise)between a bone stock M6 and a modified one. My car is stock with zero modifications and your car is CP with Dinan mod! The only advantage I have is a little weight saving since your is GC... hopefully you are heavier than me so I can have another weight saving advantage
