Hey Steve, I might be looking at you in mine I have 143.6kW at the wheels or 192HP. That is a basic tune too. Haven't got my Torque bar yet, they will do this when I take it back to get properly tuned. For anyone out there that reads this, DO NOT PUT AN OVERSIZED CRANK PULLEY ON YOUR CAR!!!! Reason:- Creates too much boost. My car runs 17.5 pounds of Boost. Fair enough to have heaps of boost, but to get that boost you need to spin the supercharger faster which means more heat which means the oxygen is minimal!! So all in all they have had to take timing out to compensate for it. So that figure of 143.6kW will only get higher!!! My aim now is to re install the Stock size Light Weight Crank Pulley to reduce the amount of boost which will reduce the heat coming out of my car. The next aim is to put the new exhaust headers on and the new Cat. Then take it up and put it back on the Dyno to see what is happening!! The cool thing about this Unichip is that I can use it to trigger a water pump to come on at about 2000RPM to sprayer water on the Intercooler and also when I am at Idle to Spray Water on the Intercooler to cool it down as the Air that comes from the Supercharger is just circulating. So at the moment, the Water/Meth is giving me 13kW at the wheels. This too is only going to get better. So this is the story so far. To Be Continued.....
