Default not happy with MSDs new rolling road!

AND IVE NEVER EVEN BEEN! LOL

I have an E36 M3 that i want to put on the rollers just for a power run and a health check to make sure its all ok.

since following the build of their rollers and seeing just how good and professional it all is, i now think everywhere else is crap and i dont want to go there lol.
ive only been to about 3 RRs and not thought they were that great, now i cant see myself wanting to go anywhere else after seeing there new place lol.
and its so bloody far away.

i also want to get it remapped at some point too but again, not sure who else or who elses rollers i trust. lol.

damn you msd lol

Generally for tuning keep to the same rolling road. Power figures can differ quite a bit from reading hight to low. And yes MSD have got a nice setup plus above all else they know what there doing.

If its an m3 EVO you would probably be disappointed anyway. Not many get anywhere near book figures.
Mine was 20 hp down when I sold it.

I will be going at some point but the petrol will probably cost as much as the setup lol.

It's not an evo, it's a gt that's had a couple of bits done, plus I don't care what the figures are, just want to know its all working properly.

Much as their rolling road and set up looks fantastic,surely mark shead who's just down the road from you could do a full health check and set up to a good standard?
If it was your r5 and you'd had a load of msd bits I could totally understand but for a relatively boggo m3 that are generally bombproof it could be an expensive thing to do.
Just my 2p.
