davy,was wondering how your sagaris got on and what improvement on bhp was there,(if any)?.
i was pleased with mine,from 329 to 344.7.

Went from 344 to 363bhp .
325.9 at the wheels with 309/Ft torque.
I am going to get the Dyno charts put on ,but as I have no scanner I have to wait until the wife can arrange this and then e-mail them to me.
I will then post them up,probably next week.
The curves were totally different to the previous year where the power tailed off after 6000 rpm.
This time the power was still rising at 7500.
The torque curve starts to fall at 5500.
It is pulling really strongly from 1000 rpm
I went out with Stephen in the Griff,and the grin on his face was immense .As soon as we left the garage he could feel the difference.
I went out in the heavy rain on Monday,just to enjoy the sounds.I hope you enjoyed the drive home as much as I did.
Have you had any more flames from the exhaust?
Will be in touch soon and will post the charts asap.

I've never been to a rolling road day, just out of curiosity what adjustments are made to get such different power figures?

ive noticed a lot more pops and bangs when i ease off the gas,as for flames,im not sure,i'll need to get someone to drive behind me(not too close though) to see if theres any more flames.
did you manage any flames from your sagaris,you would need to be careful driving around town with your tailpipes,i took it easy going home but noticed it was a bit smoother to drive,i'm going going to a friends on friday night so will try her out then.
ive got a scanner,but not sure how to use it,theres a challenge for me over the weekend!

No one will flame better that Audreys V8s
Sounds like you have all had a bit of fun on the rolling road.
I am sure there was some noise in that workshop

I was up for a afew hours while this was going on,
your right about the noise, the sound of detonation was incredible, i think the owners were too busy laddy da-ing about to notice however.

Adjustments are normally made to the ignition timing, fueling (injectors) map of the ecu whilst monitoring the exhaust gas readings and the reading on the rollers. Plus the rolling road has the advantage of putting the engine under load whilst making these adjustments, making it more realistic in a controled environment.
