    Dissapointed to see it fail like that, tbh though the engine sounded flat as a pancake at not that high rpm, whats the rev limit set too and where was peak power ?

    Thats one hell of a loss from the dyno figures isn't it !

    What exhaust system is it on ? not knocking the build as we both know it has the right bits but when I was expecting it to sing it just sounded very flat, considering your times I'd say there is a underlying problem somewhere.

    To be fair you did well to get it there, I'm quite sure with some tweaking the lost horses will reappear and the car will run good

    When paul @ Rs tuning started it was only reading 197bhp, I dont think its too bad as the torque figure is 200ft lb (that reading is 100% accurate) we will see what its like when i rebuild it.
