Mine ran 150bhp on the nose before the remap and 158bhp after with a small increase in torque.

That was running Jetex exhaust with de-cat, modded airbox with panel filter on my 40k mileage engine so I struggle to believe the claims of high 160s to 170s.

Mine is chipped, but with airbox mods, cold air feeds, stainless exhaust, pipercross filter and made 172hp on Stealths rolling road (known to be optimistic) and 162hp on the Garage Streamline rolling road (known to be fairly accurate)  Both dynos gave a reading of 144lbs-ft of torque, so I would expect the real reading to be somewhere around mid 160s.

Well mine has been on 3 rolling roads since remap and highest has been 154.5 and mine has all those mods plus a polished throttle body!

With regards to Len's rolling road graph in comparison to one of my runs:



Uploaded with ImageShack.us

I would comment on the fact that Len's valver seems to barely make over 135lbs-ft of torque and doesnt hold onto this for a decent amount of the rev range, tapering off to under 125lbs-ft before 6400rpm.  Contrast this to mine and you can see it holds over 140lbs-ft of torque right from 3.5krpm upto 6krpm, only just dropping under Len's peak torque after 6.5krpm.  Even as it hits the limiter of nearly 7krpm my car still makes 120lbs-ft of torque.

This is where I see the difference in the cars, it doesnt seem like they've tinkered much for a remap to make that torque hold on for that much longer.
