Title: bluefin edition 30
Post by: penzer_11 on October 31, 2011, 05:27:18 pm
i have a bluefin for my edition 30 not installed yet, does anyone no if it has to be 300bhp when installed or can you choose what power you can get as in less power so say 270 bph or something so its more smoother with less spin ect?

The simple answer is it wont be 300bhp on stage 1. With no other mods mine was around 265-270bhp.

Others have made more but sadly it's not configurable from the handset.

You could ask S.C for a Torque limited map which at stage 2 tune, should see around 290bhp, and i can confirmed its alot better and less Torque Spikey then there normally stage 1 tune and 2 options they offer.

Too much torque and no grip is pointless i agree.

With stage 1 the car is fine it's only as you start to push the limits that it becomes difficult.

Is that 270bhp at the wheels?

Thats pretty poor, 37 less than they are claiming at the flywheel!

But their dyno tends to over read by about 37bhp...
