Engine Adaptation....Diff HP?
I hope this doesn't make me sound too novice...but, we all know that the BMW engines take a few miles to "learn" (adapt to) our driving style. Since I'm getting my N55 MPPK dynoed tomorrow, should I have driven it hard today so that it "learns" to lay down some aggressive hp? Or....am I being silly? Is the "learned" driving style merely shift points? I've heard guys say their car feels livelier the day after tracking it....but I've got a hard time believing it would actually change the hp output. Thoughts?

In the end I highly doubt youre going to see a difference in numbers rather you drove it mildly for tomorrows dyno run, or take it back 2 montsh after it was dogged. Im pretty sure the numbers will be identical pending on you using the same dyno. Its all going to depend on temperature as well. Being its force fed the numbers are always going to vary...heat soak is the devil..

What I use to do with my cobra was tow it in. But I had access to trucks and trailers. And my tuner was 2.5 hrs away so I really didnt feel like driving the car untuned that far. With my Twin screw supercahrger we use to throw ice in the intercooler reservoir. Insane how it made a difference. But thats for water to air intercoolers and heat exhcangers. Were air to air. Post up your numbers for sure after its done.
