Had Jim at Tunehouse weave his magic over the beast the other day.

Pretty dissapointed.......missed out by a measly 7 rwkw...... of making the 400+ club.

Nah just kidding. It would have been good to make it, but 190 odd kw more than I had is a pretty good effort. It will take some getting used to.

He said with some 100 octane fuel it will make 400 but we can't get that down here.

I picked it up this morning and it hasn't stopped raining. Bummer.

I'm too scared to give some in the wet.

Good result all round.

Just be carefull to start, as the power comes on very hard between 3000 and 4000 revs.

Hopefully some dry road tomorrow to test it out.

It will certainly take some getting used to ... forget about 1st and 2nd gears until you get a feel for how the car behaves when it breaks traction.

Be careful in 3rd gear as another car with a similar tune absolutely scared the sh%t out of the owner when it snapped out of shape when he jumped on it in while cruising along!!

Have fun and keep us informed on how you go getting used to it! :bomb:

that's a massive power increase to go to from stock. Must feel awesome instead of doing it in stages. Enjoy :stupid:

Yes it is awesome.

I have been collecting bits and pieces over the last two years, listening to advice from people on this forum and finally took the plunge when the car ran out of warranty and the Mrs had another car to drive. (this was her daily drive since new).

I gave a squirt today and it certainly is a lot different than before. Spins first and second and squeals into third (good one Frank).

It will take some getting used to and some patience on my behalf to keep out of trouble.
