I am sure they heard of Active Autowerke.. they probably haven't heard of them being called "AA"

They got ads in the Roundel too. I like their logo

Pssst Shiv, maybe you should put an ad in the Roundel!

I like this Valet/Race switch. I wonder if Dealers will know you have this when you take it in for service... Valet mode.

I'm headed to AA tomorrow. I got their Xede last friday but I couldn't get any dyno runs that day. Hopefully they can dyno it tommorrow and I will post the results.

Kind of like going to McDonalds or going to Burger King...

Proceed wins the input battle.... but we only use 2 inputs anyway. Mr. Lachlan can explain further if he chooses to do so.


Back On Topic: $1080 and they are available.


Once again Thanks for your patience and we will have a lot more stuff for you soon.:rocks:

Apparently, their 335 with AA/Xede software ran a 12.68 1/4 mile.

Let's be clear here, that was with a custom tuned 335i with exhaust, 93 Octane, sea level and on drag radials, not just their software on a stock 335i.

Thanks for the info, but do you guys have a Dyno of your product?

Nobody is responding to this.
Why does AA seem to keep it so secretive?
I would be VERY surprised if they are getting 354 Rwhp on stock intake and exhaust.
I guess it's possible if they didn't taper off the boost up in the rev range like Shiv did for the PROcede, for engine safety and reliability reasons.
But if that was the case, I would expect Rflow's trap speeds to be much higher than it was. Comparitively (mod for mod and such) his trap speeds were worse than mine and should of been 2-3 mph more if the AA Xede is putting that much RWHP down!


Someone with a PROcede is going to need to dyno on their dyno for comparison purposes. Maybe AA's dyno just reads high? It would be an interesting comparison.

[bimmermans54]

Please remember that AA uses a MUSTANG dyno, which reads 15-20rwhp less than a dynojet. So the numbers that they gave were off their mustang dyno, I am sure that the numbers will be the same if not exceed SHIVs numbers. These guys are the kings of this. They just built a e46 330ci motor for me, top and bottom, did a custom s/c kit, and tuned it all from scratch. Its rediculous. I would always go with AA, hands down.

[Driver72]

I've been told that the new Mustang Dyno software makes them read more comparibly to Dynojets!
I'd still like to see a PROcede and AA Xede dynoed on the same dyno.
The AA Xede car should be trapping a LOT faster than what Rflows did if it was making that much more power than a PROcede, when in fact his AA Xede trapped slower than comparibly equipped PROcedes.

I agree. That is impressive. I wouldn't trust myself to change valve springs let alone build an entire engine. Last time I actually did any hard wrenching work on a car, my left index finger became 1" shorter.

Hes had an E46 330 with a vortech blower that we tuned and engineered, an e46 m3 with our sc kit an nitrous, and then two other NA E46 M3 with Nitrous that we custom tuned. Thats in the past 2 years.

So you lopped off a bit of your finger!?

anyn idea on the longer term effect on the engine. sounds like it might just half the lifespan!!

354 rwhp probably with the exhaust, which seems reasonable. I think all the dynos are going to be a little different. I'd be more curious about the delta. If they were able to pick up a difference of 80 rwhp, then thats impressive.

Not to speak for rflow, but he has trapped about 2 mph faster. You posted a speed of 107.6. His best trap that I have seen is 109.46 (this isnt the run posted on Dragtimes, but a 12.702/109.46 done that same evening). Considering he was using DRs, he was probably hooking decent, which would also hurt trap speed. I am sure he could hit 110 on street tires with a slower ET.

Aren't they working on a twin-supercharged E39 M5?

Now THAT, I would pay money to see...

That's not always the case.
Slower ET's don't always mean faster traps.
I've dragged a lot and sometimes that's true, other times not.
With my PROcede 335i, of my 3 runs I did at Famoso, each ET got faster and so did each trap speed, while each 60' got faster.

By the 2 mph slower (rflows traps) I was referring to Shiv's 111 trap speeds with the PROcede.
And the fact if my car had an exhaust and tune for the exhaust on 93 Octane, and at sea level (like Rflow's set up), I'm sure I would of trapped at 109+ too as Rflow did and had the same 12.6-12.7's and that would be on street tires!
Again, I'm not taking anything away from his times, they were very good.
But under the same conditions with the same mods, it would of been easy for me (or any other experienced drag racer with the same set up) to match those times. Just correcting for sea level, my times were 12.95 @108.1
The 93 Octane tune alone would be good for another tenth or so and .7-1 mph.
Add in the exhaust and a tune for the exhaust...plus DR's, no problem matching or beating those times with my car...especially now with version 1.4 of the PROcede that has more power now than when I did my runs at Famoso.

Our cars our fast, there's no doubt.
But in order to know exactly what kind of power the AA Xede is putting down compared to the PROcede, it needs to be dynoed on the same dyno as someone with the same set up (exhaust, 93 Octane).
As I said, I'd be interested in seeing that.

[bimmermans54]

The twin screw e39?! It CRAZY, the car sounds rediculous, and moves like a beast. AA is very true to one thing. They are very good to people, meaning, me being as impatient as I am, go out and purchase fromother companies, and my cars have been through it all. One thing I can always count on is AA, they always either fix my mistakes, or just plain old make them faster, and run more smooth. Thats why I learned my lesson to only stick with them, cause when they put something out the R&D is priceless. Its perfect...I had their e46 m3 s/c stg3+, and I wish I never got rid of it, seriously. The best car I ever had, ran better than stock, more driveable than stock. Oh well, they make my 335 just as crazy...

I would be willing to have AA dyno my car with the PROcede on their dyno. I am also interested in their exhaust system (I think it will be available late May?), so I could also be the test subject with the exhaust installed.

Omar, if you are up to the challenge (and to sell me an exhaust ), let me know.

I didn't mean imply that slower times always mean faster trap speed...but in the case of a car that is hooking (such as on slicks/DRs), its not uncommon to see the trap speed be slower. Then again, thats assuming no other changes (same air temps, shift points, etc).

I couldn't agree more about the dyno though. It would be nice to see both a PROcede and AA 335i at the same dyno, same time, same setups. I am sure this will happen sooner or later.

[Driver72]

Yeah, I agree.
But it won't really matter.
The Xede just doesn't allow for updates.
Even if by some way, shape or form, AA was able to expand on Shiv's Xede and get a few more ponies and tq out of it, who cares?

And there's more to it than just PEAK power outputs.
The updates and upgrades to the PROcede and the fact Shiv is the one who developed the Xede and PROcede for our cars in the first place, I'd support him for all his hard work. Especially since he's a good dude and cool cat and has served us all well and brought a great product to us that we all can enjoy.

I don't make excuses or claim to be special, I just post numbers from the track. Then again I've never been a what if guy just a what is.
