Well yesterday the day I had been waiting for finally arrived (I'm sure the guys at work would have been ready to throttle me counting down the days all week!), thanks to Steve from MACE Engineering and Bill from Towler Performance we got the Clubbie up on the dyno.
The only mod to the car is the 3" Catback, Bill let it rip on the dyno and it produced what I would describe as a rather healthy 270rwkw with the stock tune.
We then went about popping the MACE supplied LSX tune and ran it up on the dyno once again which hit 277.2rwkw. I was surprised to say the least as it feels a hell of a lot more than a 7rwkw gain, a gain is a gain though right anyway read on
During our chats Bill made mention that the intake and headers were really holding it back, he couldn't easily just unbolt the headers so the next best thing was unclipping the airbox leaving it slightly ajar allowing a bit more air in but still going through the cotton filter, up on the dyno again for another run and it hit 285rwkw.
Proof in the pudding right there that the intake sure is holding it back.
To my surprise I came home and the OTR had arrived so now I'm just waiting for some sunlight to get stuck into it.
Dyno sheet attached.
There's more coming this week, headers and cats being fitted and a video thanks to the video crew I had there on the day.
Thanks again Bill, some of those cars you have there are crazy to say the least!
