Back on the dyno yesterday and it come out as 180.1 & 152.8lbs not the 195.8 & 173.8 lbs what k-tec claimed even though it was a very hot day

Bit disapointed but this gives me more willing to get it up to a genuine 190bhp

Plans are to go up to MWM for a live map

Heres the graph

  A special one.
So you pay someone to work on your car but have no interest in finding out whats been done or why???

Mental.
