think i might try again when the roads dry up so can use full throttle
ok tried again. shes been running on super for a couple of weeks now so should be running near enough pure 97-98 ron, what ever V-power is optimax was 97Ron


between 4640 Rpm and 5800 Rpm torque sits around 165 ftlb peaking at 179 ftlb at 5280

power was up to 184.6 bhp at 5680 rpm

so up 9 ftlb and 13 bhp
am happy with that. time to update the profile

i cant comment on lower than 4500 rpm as only took figures from 1 run from 1st through to 4th gear. so only have the figs for below 4.5k rpm for 1st gear where the traction control was on. also had to remove some figs from 2nd gear where traction control intervened. i didnt bother to take boost reading so i had a better sample rate for the torque
