Ever made a typo? Obviously it's wrong, but either way. I'm not by any means defending them or saying they're the best, but over the years I've learned that $$Dinan$$ is conversative with their HP numbers for warranty/reliability reasons, Conforti is fine, but coming from the M5 forums, just about everyone rants and raves of the Powerchips for the E39 M5. My current E34 M5 has a physical chip made my Mark D'Sylva, the E38 7 is bone stock software only because I have no choice but going a custom tune and the 01 is still stock but I'm going to need to do something since I've got a pre-VANOS intake manifold installed, so I'm basically wasting potential power.
