Had my standard M400 yellowshedded on Friday.

[sjc]

And at 39K miles with only a FP intercooler and semi hard-pipe kit and Trevors knowledge it made 407.4 BHP.
Very happy with that.

How's come only 17hp more than my standard GTO3 apart from exhaust ??

Well exhaust makes a big difference. I also might be wrong here but doesn't std M400 run 0.9bar and your GTO3 mapped is prob running 1bar as that's seems to be the norm?

i bet it feels much better ? what did he cap the torque at ?

Andy, what did it produce before?

Thanks for your good wishes!!!
In all seriousness,was yours done with Trevor on his usual R/R or somewhere else?
Also exhaust will make a big difference,M400's produce 450ish I believe with some systems.Trev seemed happy enough, he mentioned that even the red M400 press car with a trick map only made around 410-415ish,and he felt mine was pretty much as good as a standard car could make.I was happy enough, and its decent advert for the cars witah few miles on.

Drives much smoother,more punch from about 4K revs.Capped the torque at 380 which is normal I believe?

364BHP first run on original map,again Trev seemed to think that was a good starting point. Friends M400 started at 329 and came away with 393,so it was money well spent for him as well.

Also there are rolling roads and there are rolling roads - I had the impression this one was not trying to flatter anyone in its wheel-fly calculations.

Yes, as sjc says, mine went from 336 to 394. Feels like a different car.

Mine made 371 when it was brand new, not the claimed 425, fixing it became a slippery slope.

I'm happy with 407, not chasing anymore on a standard car.

Yes Trevor did it, I just assumed the M400's with bigger turbo's etc mapped would be well over 450hp.
He did say the exhaust probably gave it 30hp more over standard.

Trevor did my 3R a few months ago .It's standard apart from PA ic , hard pipe, upgraded fuel pump and wiring. It Made 383 bhp , he capped the torque at 403lb/ft but i am a bit worried about the gear box as a few standard boxes have broken at these levels of torque.

shouldn't be a problem
my 5 speed has over 450 torques running through it n not been modded
not been a problem in 3 years

[Gadgeroonie]

what was the wheel power before and after ?

isn't the 5 speed box supposed to be stronger
