look under M50 / M52 for US S50 / 52 weights. S50/2s are just bored versions of M5x, so they'll actually be slightly LIGHTER than the non-M versions.
EURO S50 is heavier. S54 is heavier.
M30 is heavier than US S5x by ~15ish lbs.

The us s50 is a somewhat lighter variant of the m50, which weighs 299lbs compared to the m30's 315lbs. This isn't rocket science guys.

In terms of weights, US S5x < M30 < Euro S5x. Science.

If you look at the dyno chart for this car you will notice substantial misfiring on the second half of the run. The whole run should be smooth like the first half. This is common on lowbuck standalone ECUs and is not simple and easy to fix. (the tuner would have fixed it if it was) The fix involves an electronics wizard an oscilloscope and a lot of time if it is fixable at all, or a whole other ECU system plus install plus tuning. Not a cheap one either. Just so you know...
