Oh c'mon! U're complaining about losing traction driving 80mph on stock RFT while freezing? U must be joking. U are driving on stock RFT while freezing? U'd loose traction with half the power man

Now go and buy some winter tires, don't be stupid! Do U wanna kill yourself?

93 octane FMIC

future maps will be developed for:
FMIC for all octane levels and trans types.
downpipe for all octane levels and trans types.
FMIC+Downpipe for all octane levels and trans types.
BIG turbo mapping
will there be seperate maps for catted/catless dps or just one? what do you think your timeframe on these maps will be after public release?

Not for nothing but its not like tunes are women(almost). They arent pretty to look at and since they are buried under your hood it shouldnt matter. As long as they do what they are supposed to do and make you happy, all is golden.

Since the new software update do the dynos still look the same? More importantly, does the torque curve follow the stock one?

Yes. As I mentioned previously, the new map and harness update just control the driveability making it more user friendly and giving better mpg.

It seems as though a few guys out there are seeing big gains from an intake, and if I recall, helix is/was developing an intake. You believe that the impact is insignificant enough for the ecu to adapt as if it were just an aftermarket catback? Question 2: No maps for 100 octane? I'm rather jealous, seeing that I probably live 15 minutes away from the only 100 octane gas station in my region

OK, I put 378 Miles on the 335i since the update. The car seems a bit quicker, better response, shifts for the (Auto) seemed to get ALOT smoother. Feels better than stock to be honest. At this point, it looks like you guys got it down. Ill keep driving it this week and get back to everyone. Gas mileage also improved a bit.

we need to get cars with these mods and datalog to see. In my experience once we get a decatted downpipe car tuned in we can usually split the difference in changes(boost-air fuel etc) for a high flow cat car and be VERY close in our base map. so yes there will most likely be maps for both catted and catles DP's!

If you put me up for the winter in Sydney, the attache and custom tuning is free

The next round after the expanded local offering should start encompassing national/international orders as well. we have 9 more attaches going on local cars with 1 going to a hot weather tester(next week). the following order(2 weeks later) is global with 25+ more going to the 4 corners of the earth. The best thing to do is call helix and get on the list 877-helix-13
