E30 tuning questions and steps to get there

Does it matter if I get the front or the rear trans mount from Anthony?

He will only sell them in a pair. Doesn't matter. You might be able to sell the other. Depending on the year some cars only have one mount.

Sounds about right. If you are going on a road trip and want to run 87 just change out the 3 bar back to stock and re flash it. only takes about 5 minutes and the plugs can stay. now you will have almost a 100 WHP and over 100 WTQ you will find the car can now spin the tires so with this comes wheel hop. One more thing you will need since we are spending your money is the AD trans mounts, they come with 2 mounts that are stiffer then stock. I suggest only putting in one as they pass vibration to the body. At first it's a bit loud but give them a few thousand miles to mellow out. one is more then plenty to keep the wheels planted. ENJOY!

Im on a AO 91 tune(good ole CA grade)but Im not able to run 87 on this tune and just have it Auto Adjust?

GH with the AO tune you can run 87 or 93 and it will automatically adjust. The down side it plays on the safe side. A custom 93 tune plays the other way but will back it off a bit if needed. Just not as much room to move a custom 93 tune.

Thanks, I’ll shoot him an email to buy them. I’ve heard people will have the tuner bump their idle speed by 50-100 rpm to kind of smooth it out for the break in period. If I don’t have them bump up the rpms will it smooth itself out after a couple thousand miles or will it remain rough at idle speeds?

I never touched mine, and you can change it without the tuner - person. In the tuner screen and options. All it does is possibly smooths out some vibration you feel in the steering wheel.

I found it unnecessary.
