Yeah unfortunately the before and after dyno runs weren't consistent so we don't know, from this car, what the true gains were at each stage.

In this respect I'm very disappointed as I personally spent a great deal of my own time and money to get the project off the ground (definitely can't forget VS_WPN help too :))

In saying this though I'm very impressed with the way the car drives, as it has a very broad range of power, unlike some cam only cars I've been in the past which are crying for a higher stall converter and don't drive all that well on the street :)

Why the disappointment Mace ? Its not an easy engine to work on NA wise. Raptors new intake manifold has died in the guts as well, havent heard nothing from it. In time you may be able to retest on another car ?

I got just over 500K's in my ecotec just the other week that was around Canberra I was surprised that I got that considering I was pushing the car a bit as I had just put injector cleaner in the tank and thought that if I drive hard it may just may help clean the crap out of the injectors a bit better than driving normally.

I was disappointment by the fact that they didn't dyno the car properly and not the performance, which I'm very happy with :D
