Right on Bobbie - strong motors. Been a bit since we dyno'd an m20. Built a few 24vs and am going next week for a 13b rotary MS/ITB conversion.
I have a hard time with the 12:1 and stock - or 272 cam for that matter. Might want to see about that information. With a stock cam and 9.4:1 we are seeing 200psi cranking compression, I would expect detonation in the mid range with pump fuel, and 225+ cranking compression with 12:1 and stock cam (another member here was having detonation issues with 11:1 and 272 cam).
It appears car #2 could use some fuel trimming, for sure. Car #1 also seems like a little less fuel at 5700 would help the peak.
We saw just the opposite. Our MS car did about 6 more whp over the stock ECU car, but was with headers, extruded intake and stock cam added.
Send me the files to John@m20guru.com, maybe I can overlay them. The scaling is different between the runs, might just have to scale everything.

Also, agreed regarding compression. I'm not sure the comp was ever fully calculated, so I suspect that number to be a "somewhere around there" type of figure. The cars didn't appear to detonate, so I assume the actual compression is lower than 12:1.
Dwights quote regarding compression from a BAT listing:
"The pistons were stock M54’s that had been shaved 2mm on the top and then they had 17 thousandths of ceramic coating. The compression ratio is about 12 to 1. Our metallurgist told us the pistons would withstand 12 to 1 compression ratio on pump gas. The cometic head gasket added 3.2mm to the block height which allowed for a high compression ratio."

m54b30 pistons have CH 28.3
206.1-135-28.3-44.8 = -2.0 mm so pistons sits 2.0 mm above deck. if you machine 2mm off with a stock gasket that is like 10.5:189 E30 325is Lachs Silber - currently M20B31, M20B33 in the works, stroked to the hilt...

Over the last few months we opened up a dyno tuning shop, DyNomad Mobile Tuning, here in North Louisiana. Since we have opened, I've had very little time to mess with my own M20 E30, but yesterday after installing our lift, we had a little free time to see what the ol girl puts down, and we were not disappointed. This car has been sitting for the last 6 months. The tank was still 1/8th full of old Ethanol, so of course we used it. The battery was dead and had to be jumped off to even get onto the rollers. Air filter was dirty and is small, but we left it on.
Here's the run down on the setup:
Engine: Unknown Mileage STOCK B27 Short Block with borrowed #2 piston, rod, and bearings from a destroyed motor we had laying around.
Head: STOCK head gasket with ARP Studs, 280/274 cam, HD Rockers and Springs, Welded Coolant Channels.
Turbo Setup: RSI Manifold, Precision T3 Gen 1 6266 0.84, 2.85“ straight Exhaust (yes, not even 3"), dirty and small air filter, Precision 46mm wastegate, no BOV
Fuel: ID1000, Walbro 450, STOCK feed and and return,
STOCK fuel rail, STOCK FPR
ECU: MS3 Pro Evo, Full Sequential Ignition and Fuel, LS coil packs, Mac 4 port boost controller, AEM wideband.
This is the first time this car has ever seen a dyno, as it is 100% street tuned. We figured it was making pretty good power, so before we tore it apart for the forged stroker swap, we decided to see what kind of power we had been making on this stock bottom end for the last few years.
Wastegate pressure - ~13psi - 404whp/415tq
High Boost ~21psi - 522whp/527tq
We honestly could keep going. Plenty of fuel left for more power, I think we could get close to 600whp if we wanted a glory run.
We are going to work on a few small things before we remove the engine, maybe we will get it back on there for a glory run. We will see.
Watch till the end for a treat

e30 with m20b25 vs a pack of RX7 & 8's at the SCCA national runoffs (championships). Easier to see speed when there's other cars on the track. How much HP does this one have? ;)
