My car baselined at 272whp. After the Procede I was at 329.2whp. If you have never participated in a dyno day, it's a great experience and I would have driven 8 hours instead of 2 to get there. (Nyulak). My first test drive I noticed the immediate response under boost and I was thrown back harder than before. The highway test on the way home made all of the difference. Every gear pulls stronger and harder than before. It actually feels like every gear feels like the one before on a stock car. In 6th, you would rarely need to downshift to get the passing power needed.

Some people made some complaints about traction and I will not lie, traction is considerably less IF you use the throttle like an on-off switch. In 1st if you floor it you are definately going to spin the tires. If you moderate the throttle and gradually get on it, there are not really any issues even on the stock Run Flats.

The one thing that impressed me the most is the "smooth"ness with the PROcede installed. The car feels just as smooth as stock, just much more potent. Boost comes on real early like stock but theres just so much more of it. Torque out of the hole is very impressive and honestly it is very powerful. I was hesitant about putting any software on the car because I thought it was already fast enough. After this, it can honestly be scary.

Shiv is top notch and knows his shit. After picking him up at the hotel yesterday, it was evident after 5 minutes that he was someone I was going to trust with my car. He started speaking another language and lost me by the time we got to the dyno He is very intelligent and believes in what he sells. He tunes EVOs, Subies, Porsches, and now BMWs. And guess what...he has one of each of those. Being a salesman as well, if you do not believe in what you sell you are a shitty salesman. The guy was on the forums on his cell phone answering PMs and then again at the Dyno shop posting answers to questions. (I have pictures to prove this)

So all in all...a great day. Met some great guys from the forums, took some great videos and pictures. (Will upload later)

Also got my first kill on the way home...An E39 M5 was driving like an idiot...I got next to him and we slowed down to 55. He honked 3 times and we took off. I started out in 3rd and right from the get-go I was taking him bigtime. By 1xx, I shut it down and gave Shiv more props. The product is great, the service is great, and the experience was great.

If anyone is considering software for the 335, look no further than the PROcede. Yeah you may have to wait a couple of weeks but let's face the facts. Nothing good is ever easy and if you want the best you wait a little. I would be happy to provide anyone with test drives or answers to PROcede questions for people in NJ or NYC.

couldnt have said it any better

and now for the money shot:



more to come! gotta go eat.

Great Review Straz, I love the way my car feels also. I guess i would have felt the same way regardless of which piggyback i went with, the extra kick would just put a smile to my face regardless. But shiv was great and very informative.

GREAT PICS CHRIS!! I love the last one especially..LMAO

shiv

[pittyinSC]

M5 driver even better

[anonemouse]

It was me that kept Shiv late, just had the procede installed at Shiv's house

Ride home down 680 back home was exhilarating. As others have mentioned, it is as if each gear has moved down one, i.e. the acceleration in 3rd is like a stock 2nd etc. 4th and 5th were a lot of fun before but as the guy on the you tube video said, flooring it gets you to lightspeed before you know it.

Shiv is a cool guy, nice to meet someone that really knows there stuff and doesn't have an ego. Thanks for working late on my install!

And of coarse the compulsory 1st kill story... Yes I know racing on roads is not cool, the traffic on the freeway was light traffic etc.

Going down 680 in middle lane about 65-70 and a IS350 comes up from behind and shoots by me, so the little devil on my shoulder and the angel on the other shoulder had a conversation, then a heated discussion, and finally a blazing argument. The bad guy one

I down shifted and rev-matched from 5th to 4th, punched it and went after him. Road ahead was clear so no problems, I am not one of those idiots that weaves through traffic at excessive speeds, I'd rather let the other guy get away than shortening my and other's life spans. So I pull along side him, let him know I am there, he punches it, so do and I pull pass him very strongly. Before you know it he was a speck in my rear view mirror, I was somewhat surprised at the speed I was doing, I'll withhold that bit of information...

I slowed to 70, let the guy catch up, saw him gunning it to shoot by me, down-shift/rev-match then WOT, bye, bye IS 350.

Procede is worth every penny, makes the car come alive like it was meant to be.
