Just a break down, JMS iz Johnson Motor Sports, started by Chris Johnson, who like most started by "burning" chips in the 1980's for the 5.0 Mustang crowd. JMS also builds and races sum if the fastest FORDS around. Chris Johnson along with 2 others started SCT, ever heard of them?
Please Don't question me, I've been doing this Alot longer than Most of you have been alive.
I come here to ask if anyone has used and if they've seen the same performance gains, if you don't have anything intelligent to add or say, just STFU and mind your own business, ok?
P.S. while all you basement dwellers were eating your Hot Pockets, I spoke with Rick Erdman at Amazon Tuning Solutions and he installed 1 on his wifes 2014 Sport and on his Dyno, he saw a gain of 80HP, so Smoke sum if that
Hard to take you seriously when you pop off and the grammar/spelling is all over the place as well. I would not trust a single word of advice from Rick at Amazon, given his history with the lightning as mentioned, and with the SVT Cobra. He has scammed countless people on SVTPerformance forums, or sent junk tunes.
Have you seen any dyno proof of these gains? Are they claimed as at the crank or at the wheels (BIG difference on the AWD platform).
And, as others mentioned, you may be able to get that sort of power, but it can't be good for the car. If you trick the car to overboost it, you will inevitably have problems. Why spend ~$310 when you can get a used X4 from the forums here, for ~$300 or a little less if you work a good deal. or a new one for 399 and then add a custom tune on top of that which you can datalog to dial in perfectly. Rather than just tricking the car to overboost, you will be able to modify spark parameters, shift points, and a host of other parameters as well. Plus the chance to get an Ethanol fuel mix tune and crank the spark advance even more.
Not to mention the X4 has a gauge mode (which you use for datalogging) but can also be used on the daily to display pretty much any OBDII parameter on the vehicle.
