Hi Fergus!

Thanx for the reply!

Regarding the 175+ figures on non-modded, it's only because the test bench software wasn't calibrated properly or not properly configured. The Cooper S has "good" 175 HP, but not more (and that is at crank, not wheel).

I think 4 years ago they said the same about the compressed "S" engine, that it was close to max... but hey, the JCW and the GP came... so I'm pretty confident that we will see easy 200+ HP kits soon. The question is: when?

I'll try to keep in touch with Hartge and Hamann regularly and will post if I have any news.

Have a nice evening!
