Yeah high 170s low 180s, As you can see from the chart GPMick made 225.7bhp 190.7whp, the best stock S on our dyno made 195bhp 167whp.

Whose dyno were you on? was it Andy Nichols Dynapak at Normanton

i love these threads about people being gutted about figures etc.

End of day does it feel good, are you happy with it, nuff said.

Figures are always figures, its your back side that knows when its quick.

i honestly could'nt give a toss about what headline figure mine gets, but i know when i touch the loud pedal its enough.

One thing i have learnt is when i had my car RR'd it came out at 230 bhp with roughly the same mods as yours, I reckon now it would probbly be 250-260, which does'nt sound much of an increase, and technicaly it is'nt, but driving wise its a whole different ball park, its not headline figures its how it delivers it and how you get it too the road. oh and how big the grin is when you do it.

So be happy with your figures, there only really any good for a game of top trumps in my opinion. If it was qtr mile times then thats slightly different

I no were you coming from 100% and the car does drive good..... but im not 100% happy.

Ive spent the money and id like it to be were it could be with thise parts, its not that im just saying that i want 230BHP, i might not of explained really in the first post that this might or might not be some sort of problem and id maybe like some suggestions on what it could be such as my MAP maybe not the best or when MINI-Morgan said to check the bypass valve which i did.

Im happy with it but if there is a problem which is limiting the power etc id like suggestions thats mainly what im after.

I guess ill see at the weekend.

I think if i had a GTT 260 Conversion and it came out at 230 then regardless i would not be happy at all as that price of a conversion is not cheap and id then think there could be a problem and id like to no what it is.

Well its the same as me, Ive paid my money its just my parts are not from one tuner, but then again it does that matter.

Paul can you Re-Flash the standard map back in?

I'd agree with this but its nice to know the dyno agrees with your butt

I was very happy with my numbers on Saturday (232.6bhp, 195 whp) and also glad that Paul confirmed my lower bush theory i.e. they need replacing. I would like to think my WHP numbers would go up a little when this is resolved; not that I'm in a rush to find out as the car feels great on the road

Paul: thanks for a great day, looking forward to seeing my OBD spreadsheet e-mail + thanks to your Mrs for pointing me back in the correct direction when I left 1320 (your boys found it highly amusing) LOL

GTT, GRS, Janspeed, JCW, OMP + various other bits - 232.6bhp, 191.2lbft on 1320's rolling road

Were okay for Saturday ScottyBoy, So Ant if you want to pop up and put some more miles on you're more than welcome.

Anyone else who wants to pop up or down for a session on the dyno let us know on here or pm me.
