A customer has reported back his dyno figures which are interesting as they highlight the benefits of cylinder head work,he obtained an increase of 18 bhp by using our stage 3 head (ported/polished /skimmed and big valve) this was without additional mapping ,I dont have the torque increase yet but it would be in line with the 18bhp increase as a minimum,the peak bhp was 182 bhp ,the reason he didnt make more was the poor stock intake design (something I will be looking at) oh it was on a COOPER. So on the S you would expect far more gains than that. Needless to say he is fitting an uprated gearbox.hope this is a help to performance addicts and statisticians who love their numbers!

182 bhp on a Cooper? Is that before or after the new gear box? What else did he have in the engine to get that high, was it normally asperated?

I've got a stage 2 head with a fast road cam and carbon viper cai going on in a few weeks. Iwas hoping for the mid to high 140's bhp with a remap! But 182, wow!

the cooper with 182 is a race car,so race cam,pistons,manifold,throttle body,larger injectors,light flywheel,clutch,trans cooler, etc we are supplying uprated gearbox internals, lsd,with different ratios,as he has destroyed too many stock boxes.it would have been easier/cheaper to achieve the power fitting a turbo but its not allowed.Now a 200bhp cooper turbo,would be a quick car!,but no change from £6000.be easier with an S cheaper too
