Mine has small cam, exhaust, cai etc. but still wasn't impressed. Probably different on the dyno though.

Only 2 places I'd go for a delco tune now. Electronic automotive and EFI dynamics - Errol is one of the best in the country for delco tuning without a doubt.
There always appears to be more options in Vic. I’ve heard that Errol does good work somewhere
Vic-the only place I’ve had speeding fines in 15years. All 3 fines 3km over.
Buts that another story.

Yes I can see why you want a custom tune, definitely the go to get it on the dyno like Delco said.

Yeh 205 was before. Also changed the stall from 2800 to 3500.
Made the car much nicer to drive.
In hindsight money might’ve better spent staying 304 and supercharging. 355 does have a nice ring to it though.

Stock motor is never going to be amazing even after a tune. Joe has also been good to me. Did way better then another big name tuner.

You started with a 185i, if you started with a stock 304 (165kw) then there is an easy 20kw with a HSV memcal tune if you do a bit of an exhaust and intake and more with a bit more of an tickle. Fairly reasonable really.

I am not sure of your point? Stock motor means untouched not all the mods you just listed. Pretty obvious you would notice a gain after mods and tune.
