[QUOTE="MRsamdol, post: 138605, member: 2297"] Just wondering... Remapping ecu with "piggyback" with no other modificatons or any type of forced air induction modifications?? Isn't that like just adjusting your throttle and timing only?? Sounds like a waste of the remap if you don't have any other mods.. To my understanding by just doing a remap with no other mods just gives you an illussion of power when actually all you get is adjustment to your throttle response and higher rev limit meaning you just don't have to press your accelarator as much(what took 50% throttle press would take only 30%-40% press after remap) and the rev's just moves up a notch (if the cut is 5000rpm after remap 5500rpm). My query is wouldn't BMW have optimize the perfect setting for your UDM's? Remapping with no other mods would just give and all or nothing type of response (non-linear)? Anyway not being a killjoy here but if anybody who hasn't done the minimum mod's like filters, exhaust system..etc, they shouldn't remap... cause in my opinion how can a software upgrade make a car increase in hp or torque?? its just an illussion of power. Want to go faster press harder la..... :wink: To those who mod their car then its neccassary cause they would want to have the best settings for their real increase in HP and torque. Anyways.. why make your UDM's faster if you don't race on the track? Want to dome some illegal street racing is it? enjoy your UDM's stock and upgrade the looks (thats why i buy the car) want to go fast buy a turbocharged car.. confirm fast and furious or better still the M3 No offense intended :rolleyes: Just on opinion... :yes: [/QUOTE]
