Independent DYNO Test AFE Vs Riss Racing

[Johnnyr135]

I figured this could help guys in the market for an intake since I Dyno'd both cars on the same Dyno they were different days though I dyno'd the AFE on an 83.71 degree day with 15% humidity and the Riss today at about 65 degrees. My first run with the AFE was 338whp and 325 torque the second was 336whp and 309 torque. With the Riss intake the first run was 348whp 381 torque the second was 350whp and 386 torque and the third was 358whp and 355 torque. George the owner said the third run was because DINAN is conservative and when it gets hot it pulled power back. But he took the car for a ride and was blown away and may buy one for a project car. The third run always goes down when the cars get hot so I don't know why some thought that was weird. The video of us racing should be up later and on three runs I was bumper to bumper with the 406whp 335xi and the owners modified EVO X for three rolling runs on I95. So make no mistake the the dynos speak for themselves Riss has hit a home run.

What HP/tq difference would this make on a standard car?

No street racing videos/discussions allowed, Johnnyr. Stick with the dynos.

There no way 20 degrees made the car lose 60ftlbs of torque the car was cooled down when both runs where made. The Third run you would not go off they beat the shit out of it dynoing the car it is way hotter. Beside the dyno only proved what I knew from driving the car with both intakes when I put on the Riss intake the difference was huge the car throws you back into the seat. It has way more power than when I had on the AFE, I bought the AFE I was one of the first to buy the intake and I was a fanboy of it but I could feel the car did not have the snap as when it had the drop in K&N filter so I decided to try the ugly Riss intake because I heard good things about the down pipes and they said they developed it on the dyno. And it won out as soon as I took my first ride in the car. I don't need numbers to tell me what g forces do and the Riss out performs the AFE on the street and on the Dyno.

The car is running great but don't forget about the dinan warranty. If your turbo's blow neither bmw nor dinan will be required to pay to replace them. Dinan states their warranty is void if you install any other aftermarket parts on your car, other than their stuff. I can only assume you'll remove the intake and replace with stock before calling bmw assist if your turbos blow.
