I doubt you will get 40 bhp more mate, I would love for someone to tell me Im wrong though.

Hi Lee,

Afraid I agree, you will get more noise and a different throttle response, but you won't get 40bhp, not without opening-up the engine and changing to a racing cam shaft, manifold etc...

Best

Happy to show anyone the power gains from the modifications, ask Sal on the CSL's he has mapped on our Dyno with same kit. Indeed we even did one on his Dyno and his response was the same - highest power he'd ever seen.

40 BHP though? Im not saying I dont believe you, but that seems high for exhaust and remap.

Thats got to be the longest sentence I've read.......and breath...

So 390bhp from a manifold, remap and 100 cell cats? Fook me, I want a new manifold if that is the case!

Thorney · 09-07-2010, 08:04 PM

Where does it say 40bhp? We quote +30bhp for manifold, full system and map? Website has been changed a lot of late so wondering where 40bhp comes from? 40bhp+ needs cams. Most CSL's tend to be between 350-355bhp, although some are higher. There are still people out there clImbing 30bhp from a remap

manifold is the crucial bit on the stage 3 anyway.

Anyway, I'm not going to get dragged into an argument,we Dyno the car before we do the work, Dyno it after, you get to drive it before you pay, you don't like we take it all off with no charge. Not really much more we can offer.
