Ditto on the NM, on the low setting I am pushing 270 HP verified by a dyno. With 100 octane I and the butt dyno probably about 285. 46,000+ on the 2016 JCW with no issues other than I am getting ready for #5 set of tires! The OEM Dunlops failed with less than 2,000 miles on them! Great little car with no major issues

FYI: Airtec is having a backlog on their F56 S and JCW intercoolers. Next ship date on those is July 8th.

NM power module makes gobs of power on the 100 octane setting - IF you use octane booster. I use 10 ounces per fill and it runs great - without that it reduces power.

I have tried a few of the tuning boxes.
NM- is the best set it and forget it tuning box. I would suggest not running it on the high setting due to how lean the b48 runs stock.
Racechip Ultimate - was just ok but I actually saw multiple situations where it was modifying the signal incorrectly and causing laggy power delivery.
JB4 - ran this on the factory cooper S tune and now running it stacked with the JCW Pro tune. The mobile app is excellent and if you want the ability to tweak your tune you have the ability to do so. Next step is flex fuel wires so I can start running an e85 blend.

I have heard other people say good things about the JB4 as well. I’m interested in learning more about it. Not for anything I own, just for the satisfaction of my own brain. I don’t know anything about them, as I have an N18, not a B48, which has more options available and makes more HP stock than the older engines. I have seen the JB+ which is similar to the NM module for the gen 2’s.
When I eventually pick up a Mini with the B48, I’ll end up just calling Mariokart again, ha ha. But the idea of a companion app to adjust the tune with is very intriguing!

On my 3rd "correct" Dinan module, feels slower than the 2nd one did. Oh well, now what, get ready for a battle, I have to prove it's slower than the 2nd module? I might wait for my lawyer buddy to get back from vacation and take it from there. This is frustrating, I almost got another Camaro 1LE but I got this little beast instead. It may be fun but this is the final dinan straw.

It was in Tempe I forget the name of the outfit. There were used Minis for sale there. I got the name on this forum I'm pretty sure. East of Scottsdale Road north of the Mill Avenue Bridge.
