According to 4DrSkyline its...
It's an in-ground DynoJet (224 model, I believe).
We also had Dyno day there twice before.

I am 100% certain it's a Dynojet. I've dyno'd there several times, including the first spot on the first G35 Dyno Day.

I just installed a K&N 63 CAI in my M3. I have only driven it once since because of all the rain. It was raining and I gassed it in 2nd gear in a straight line and at 5000 RPM the wheels started to slip! The DSC came on and I decided to calm down until it's dry.

There is a Driving School at Thunderhill on April 27. LimeG and others, you interested?

How you like the 63? did you get it with ECIS? I am thinking either that or the aFe's, but heard you need to chip them to get the full benefit from it, and thats another 600~ish , Maybe is the way I drive, but in 5 months of driving M3, the DSC never came up once and I do drive in the rain.

Got any detail on the April 27th event?

There is some increased intake growl in the midrange, which is nice. I haven't driven it enough to be able to tell if there is a difference in power. Yup, I've heard that most intakes for the M3 don't net much, if any, HP gain w/out software. I don't know if I want to buy that though. I do like the intake sound though. Here's the info for the track day. http://www.thunderhill.com/html/driving_school.html

If we're going to talk about our M3's more, we should move to off-topic or to a Bimmer board

I thought the E46 M3s didn't like dynoing without both the front and rear wheels in motion and a decent airflow through the front of the car? I recall reading that a few years back in one of the reputable magazines. Maybe things changed or they were delusional. Or maybe it was just me that's delusional.
