Ok, so I’ve flashed BM3 stage 1 93 octane.
What should my next mod(s) be?

Thanks!

FMIC for sure.

I have the same setup, except I installed the FMIC. I flashed to BM3 93 stage 2 (yes without the DP) and it really seems like a flash for the track. All my logging is based on dragy, which I feel is a pretty good gauge rather than waiting for a random race or butt dyno. You can definately tell it holds all the way to the edge of redline, but really I couldn't get "better" 0-60 1/4 runs. However, I noticed that all of the 0-10, 0-20, 0-30, 0-40 times are faster than stage 1, but 0-50 stage 1 is quicker and usually is around the same 0-60 (all I care about these days in suburbia). So, on a track, I believe the stage 2 would be quicker, however, day to day and wear and tear, stage 1 will gain the same results for most people.

So, your next mod should be a dragy, so you know what results/gains in the real world you'll see and/or are seeing already. 2 cents

Oh, if you have the 8-speed ZF, do the BM3 transmission flash.
