ERAM test on 95 M3

Okay, here's our agreement as I understand it:  Two dyno runs,
back-to-back, in the following configurations on a 95 M3 that already has a
Conforti chip, Euro HFM, and shielded K&N cone filter:
 
(1)  one run with the above configuration and the addition of your ERAM and
some sort of bladder that you supply, with instructions on installation, and

(2)  one run with the original configuration as described above.

Your setup produces at least 4% increase in HP or torque over the original
configuration or you pay for the dyno run.  All your parts get returned to
you.

The K&N cone filter (part no. RU-1785) is 5.5 inches in diameter and 8
inches long, so your bladder part has to account for those dimensions.  

Send me your parts.
