> Tonino, you will most likely have to find another local dyno to test an automatic car on. The dynapack dyno & automatic transmissions do NOT work well together (the owner of the dyno, Morgan, knows this from experience) If you are going to go thru with the auto BMW tune you might want to try albany speed shop - I hate to turn business away from Synapse but when it comes to an automatic, it will have to be done. If you like call morgan tomorrow & ask, he may be able to do it but the car may not run well on the dyno & you may not be able to get it to stay in gear.

I am repeating once again, that I was willing to come up there and figure out what the problem is and show to all of you that tuning has nothing to do with the issue and to be able to switch mod to stock and vice versa @ the dyno and show proof/picture/video dyno results, and of course i would prefer the one in question.  
But as we all see the talking changes  
This seems to me that he is just making a huge stink out of nothing in order to get reimbursed and keep the tuning while the car has problems, first if the car has problems, and “I know 540 problems very well” once there is a tuning installed it amplifies the problem and makes it worst.  
BDW Trophy are given based on reason “concourse elegance” are not Sunday parking lot show  
“The curb wing” are made for aerodynamic reason to keep car more stable on high speed not for look.
