The numbers cover to around 380whp/423wtq SAE dynojet (8% conversion from Mustang to dynojet. -2.2% for STD to SAE)

Well here's the first few things:

1) his tune from CJ isn't a track tune.

2) imo I would not call CJ the top tier BMW tuner, there are some people on this forum that have had tunes from him run pretty poorly and he just ditched them.

No one is saying anything about CJ - I picked a post that spoke of his customer service, in comparison to the reviews of this tuner.
I also pointed out as a preview, The OP of that thread wasn’t a fan of CJs customer service. I saved you a click.

2. I didn’t make a claim about his abilities as a tuner, I used his tune as a datapoint, I’m just asking people to share their results.

What is so sinister about that?

No im saying imo his tune would be a bad comparison point of custom tune vs. ots tune, because imo based on what I have seen he's not a good tuner at all.

Well then...if you folks want to banter about other trash maybe take it outside the OP's nice thread.

I'll chime in that bend and Joseph are the best! Hands down! Very glad I listened to them and went all out no expense spared. Best money I spent on my car.

Here's my Dyno graph for whoever cares. Since this, I've upgraded the FMIC further and Joseph has refined the tune to suit. At this point we're at the limits of what the injectors can support and I'm totally happy with not just the power but also drivability. Late last year I took the car on a 2000 mile road trip and it performed flawlessly and has continued to do so.

The car is FBO | XDI-60 | PS2 running Flex Fuel.

The 3 graphs are ACN 91, ACN 91 + Meth(single nozzle spraying 50/50 mix), and E45.

Joseph is awesome!

One more HUGE point for some of us like myself that struggle their ass off to heel toe Downshift. Ecutek now supports rev match in DSC off! Joseph sent me over a revised flash last night and I'll probably try it out this weekend.
