Software tune, so many options

I have a MY15 M6 Gran Coupe Comp.

I ran in the BMS tune and Mbeast's intake for 3000 miles and then installed catless Supersprint down pipes and Akropovic evo.

Car sounds insane. Will post video soon. I would like the CEL gone and would like a tune specifically for the boltons that are there.

Can one safely run a ECU flash and BMS piggy-back for boost control and meth injection control.

Going to dyno this coming week when the humidity is down to get a long over due baseline.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Alexander Stross

You could run an ECU tune for your base tune. Then you could use JB4 for added boost and methanol injection.

That is what I'm thinking. What tuner to choose. I want to get rid of the CEL for sure.

We would recommend a PP Performance tune. Have installed a couple here with great results.

I have no real input for you, but just want to say it's nice to see another Austin resident around.

Can the STD engine components take all this extra strain?.

Hey good to see you too! Austin born and raised. I've been meaning to hit up cars and coffee but last few times have been rained-out.

Spotted a heavily modded E63 M6 on 45 the week of the paint horse world show. Whoever that is I have to say nice work.

PPP is on the radar. As soon as my house sells www.616oakland.com I'll pull the trigger on a tune. I assume I will have the pull the DME and send it in for tuning?

I did European delivery on this car and it's strong. I broke it in on day two doing driving from Modena to Paris. After that I could easily hit VMAX on it and GPS verified to 187mph so my VMAX/speedometer is off by 2mph. As configured and with a tune -VMAX I bet this car can get to the low 200mph range now that it can breath. Too bad there is no American Autobahn.

Looked through some of your pics and put two and two together. Have seen your car many times at the W, we have a unit there we lease out, but I still use one of the parking spots when I need it.

I haven't been to cars and coffee yet, I am still waiting on my car, doing ED in September.

616 Oakland looks great!! I run by there every now and then, we live in Clarksville just a few streets up.

Crazy how we probably passed by each other many times but are meeting on a car forum. Small world.

It is a small world. I have many coincidences happen in my life. And many missions I must complete.

I actually never got the opportunity to live in the property finished as my relationship tanked (I had to get out) and a left and simultaneously my father was diagnosed with stage for cancer. So I moved in with him and that house sat for 3 years incomplete. Unfortunately, he passed away and over the last few months started getting my life back in order. Unfortunately my ex-wife still lives there and is dragging her feet on getting on out of my life. I spent the last 4 months repairing everything she broke and finishing the house. I just want to recover my investment in it. I know I could sit on it for a year and get what I want for it but I would take a loss on it now just to get rid of it and ultimately her.

The house is awesome if you or anyone know anyone who wants to get into a very special property in a great austin neighborhood which I didn't just take the finish level to spec-house level like all the other investors are doing these days please side them my way. There is no hamilton beach or home depot in this. Most everything in it is hand made And it has a structural steel frame so it's going to last the test of time if maintained properly. I'm willing to leave some meat on the bone. The situation is hurting my current marriage and loosing a couple hundred grand would be completely worth it at this point.

My business makes it necessary for me to not have a singe home base anyway.

Correct. We can have it sent overnight each way to expedite the process.
