There is a member on here that was gonna do a before and after dyno comparison but I believe he has had some issue getting the dinan installed and had to push it back. Hopefully he will chime in soon with actual numbers and not my guestimates. Still 60hp more is about a 20% increase to the wheels and the torque is even bigger, that ain't terrible and the dinan will probably be safer than other tunes. I agree that $3000 is alot but right now they are offering a special and if you get all the discounts you get almost $800 off so it's more like $2200 which is alittle better. If you can't wait dinan is your only choice.
I can't speak to the dyno numbers because I don't have a before and after comparison. But there is a big difference to me. It's laughable actually at how fast this car is. Today I ditched the run flats for Nitto Invo's so now I have a bit more grip and still retain a quiet ride. My car was fast to begin with, now its something else entirely.

You can go with JB, Hamann, Vinshu, or AA (when released) etc, but Dinan has done their homework. I cant speak to the claims, but i can say my car feels significantly faster. And some folks that I have pulled on will say its significantly faster too
