Looking foward to seeing more accurate graphs  :lipsrsealed:

I think Keith was maybe slightly concerned that I might be disappointed with the output as Revo claim 300bhp and people regularly get 290bhp+.. but I couldn't really care less about +-10bhp on a one off session.  He explained that JKM try to be honest with their RR Readings and its not an exact science.  I'd only be concerned if I was at an RR day and the car was consistently reading lower than other Ed30s as this may indicate something wrong somewhere.  He mentioned something about ignition timings but I really didn't understand that bit at all  :grin: :grin: :grin:

....Like most tuners, Revo will advertise the higher numbers which are possible. But as I think Keith was probably alluding to, the higher numbers are achieved when you use the higher settings on Timing / Boost / Fuelling. But higher settings = Higher stresses/loadings. JKM are, thankfully!, well known for being as realistic as they can on their dyno.

Wait until you've had the other mods done too Illyun :wink:

The more power you get, the more you want. It becomes an addiction :evil:

I've just had my daily shot coming home in the last 15 mins :rolleyes: at totally road legal speeds :wink:

22k miles and still on the original tyres.....shame on you :laugh:

I'm nearly out of my second set of front boots at 13k miles :embarassed:

How did you get through them so quick?   :shocked: :shocked: I thought it was the fact that my car is DSG which means I get less wheel spin and axle tramp hence preserving the tyres for longer.  But I don't do many GP starts in mine and have never used 'Launch Control' though I used it liberally in the old R32  :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

Glad you are enjoying the newly re-vitalised motor Illyun...now get out there and give it some welly for the lads :cool:

I'll try - begininng to feel a bit inadequate now  :embarassed:

Any torque figures Illyun?

Nearly 2 sets of tyres in 13k miles is a little OTT, but I shredded the second set at Inters when the clutch was GAGA and had unlimited runs for free*

*at the expense of the clutch plates :laugh:
