If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated!

no need to be skeptical, the manufacturer of the CVT actually say this tranny is rated up to 200bhp!!!

IMHO the Cooper Works Kit provides the most real world tuning out there. An improved power band provides more powerful driving than merely a peakier power band. Is the Works Kit available with a CVT???
