Well seen as so many people want it I'll post it up if that's ok.
I wouldn't normally as I don't want any, I went to that garage you reccomended and he only got 2bhp out of mine type comments!!!! and I don't want to annoy the guy. Remember mine was FUBAR and he did a good job I can only go on that, word of mouth and the fact the guy (Tony) is sound. Don't upset him though otherwise I won't get mine done again!!!!

Been there!  :grin:

Well i can't complain at the moment, after buying that gunston gastester and i have set the C0 to 2% - car seems good all the way throught the rev ranges. only slight problems and these maybe just the age of the car, is that the first 5 secs on start up the revs dip to around 700 rpm (nothing major i know) :)

Anotherr thing is that after 3k the revs should really start to move yes? well mine is more constant through out, so maybe this can be sorted at the RR

My revs climb to about 1400 when cold and it revs smoothly all the way through but when it gets to 3 it starts really climbing and pulls through to 7.5k :D

  • Champions of Europe,ooh ,just the five times then!
you want more power?! your cab wastes (certain) 16 valves as it is!!!!!! :laugh:

:laugh: :laugh:  :laugh: Certain being the key word there !  :laugh: Slammed has since had it tuned so I think he'll spank me next time.  :smiley:

Just for the record though, what Monza has actually proved is that his car was not running right as he suspected, the 145bhp figure is only 6 above what it should be as standard (139bhp). I suppose what I'm trying to say is that Monza is right in the fact that if your 16v is running well and has a slight tweek then you may only see a couple of bhp gains.  :undecided:
......now officially dubless.
