Re: What RPMs are comfortable for our M6's???? (archive)

Dinan says it adds 42hp, and it really shows. With minimal pedal it now sucks me back into the seat. My mechanic got it for $250 and after shipping tax and install it was about $370.

It was DEFINITELY worth it.

: I think that to get the best performance, staying in the 4-6k range is the way to go. However, if you're interested in the longevity of the engine, keeping the RPMs down between 2500-4000 for daily driving will give you a few more miles in the long run.

: BTW, what kind of difference in performance have you noted with the Dinan chip?

: Thanks.

: : Hi folks,

: : I picked up my 87 M6 a couple months ago and am trying to learn the proper way to drive it. I've been driving normally at about 2500-3000 rpm around town. When I jump on it I take it no higher then 6000. I now hear the car is made to run between 4000 and 6000 rpm.

: : What range do you M6 veterans drive drive yours in??

: : Also, did having installed a Dinan chip change my redline?

: : TIA,

: : Tom
