Without wanting to take anythin away from your car John, I'm sure its a right bit of kit but I'm a bit sceptical about Awesomes torque figures, when I was there the other week a guy was tellin me about his 400+lbs/ft stage 2 ED30 without an uprated pump and my pals stage 2 K03 GTI made 370 ft/lbs on their rollers which doesn't ring true to me :wink:

Bacillus was there today too - he's definitely done something else to his car as it is now running 338bhp and 381lbft :surprised: and he is quite shy when you ask him about his mods.
I'm far too wise now to know that it is a dyno lottery Gaz :happy2: - Just wait till I tell Steve Jr at Statllers that my torque is over 30lbft higher over the other side of the hill when I see him next :evilgrin:

It sure is, but I reckon it is more like 250-260lbft as Awesomes dyno's are renowned for higher torque figures. bhp is usually about right since they recalibrated it a while ago. 210whp isn't too bad for a car that weighs under 1150kg. :happy2:
