These figures are preliminary because the 440cc injectors can’t go on the car until RMW can remap it which will be happening soon.

Power: 275.1 bhp @ 6,947 rpm
Torque 209.3 lbs ft @ 6,679 rpm
Comments
The RMW mods have given fantastic gains (118 bhp over stock!!), however, with the 380cc injectors the car is running a bit lean at the top end which was expected so both Paul and I are keen to get the 440’s fitted and the custom RMW remap installed before it goes anywhere near the track.
I will post the dyno graphs later tonight when I have access to a scanner.
A huge ‘thank-you’ to Paul at 1320 and Jan at RMW for all their advice, support and hard work. There is still more to do but they have given me fantastic gains so far for little £’s compared to some competitor packages out there, the weak dollar has helped a bit too mind you, but these results are unmatched by other M45 tuners in the UK so even the preliminary results have proved what can be achieved.
Naturally though these results will be backed up by two dyno sessions at Surrey RR and AMD in the coming months to quell any scepticism about the results being obtained on the 1320 dyno.
