550 N63tu W/BMS S1

RED99HT · 10-24-2014, 06:45 AM

Dialed in the BMS Tune to 1pm position. The difference between 12 and 1 pm position on dial is quite noticable. Used 93 octane 100% gas
Used Launch Control. Without Launch control I'm spinning all over the place.
Temp was down in the 50's last night
0-60 in 4.2-4.3 range
0-80 around 6.5

I'm going to have to try this with mine. I have mine at 12 now without any problems.

Went I went to dial the JB up a notch I thought i was going to set the dial from 11 to 12. As stated in directions from BMS that 11 was the factory setting. Surprisingly when I opened up the box the dial was already at 12! So I was very hesitant in moving it but it's been no prob so far. I also replaced my stock filters with fresh ones. I'm going to cut out the old filters and take the frame to an autopart store and find a K & N I can fabricate it to.

GUYS! CRANK THAT DIAL! I have mine set at 5pm setting and have had it this whole time since i was stock to now that i have a full catless TBE exhaust. The car will handle it without any issues i promise you.
At Least crank it to 3pm.. then you will really feel difference

Based upon my dyno run experiments I have noticed an increase of 15WHP and 20WTQ for every increase in dial setting. When i say increase I mean UNDER THE CURVE (USABLE POWER)

Launch control is a new feature for '14 MY. Was not available on 11-13 models.
'14 model 550's have the updated N63TU engines. BMS S1 tune for TU is completely different than S1 for N63. The piggyback for N63TU's plug directly into the MAF sensors and you can open up the box to adjust the settings. You would need to order S2 for your car and have it set up.
