Less Power Than I Was Hoping For

[Weaponxr]

That's not right mate, I made 261rwkw with nothing but a custom tune on 12psi. I will be another person to say 'take it to pitlane'

sounds like its still got standard coldside and crossover? go rapid or similar coldside to delete all that and even if it doesnt give you more power youll at least get better throttle response. plenum and stage 3 cooler would be much better but depends what you want to spend. its the only weak link I can see. you have the gear to make 330rwkws.drop the exhaust and get a power run to see if power goes up, get a compression test as well just to see whats going on.

HPF just don't get the numbers like they used too. A lot of the staff changed and it's just not as good.

As per everyone else.GO TO PIT LANE.

Yeah I'm toying with the idea of a plenum and rapid cooler and cold piping but there's sumthing still not right about those numbers. Might take it to Mick

I think a plenum would be a waste of money at this point in time. There seems to be an issue with the car. You're better off getting everything checked out now and getting that sorted before deciding to add more mods.

You also need to keep in mind that it's a BA MkI. You can only go so far before you'll be at the limit of the rods.

[ebxmple]

If the mods are quality and the tune is good,330rwkw is still pretty reliable for a BA. The mods you have should see low 300s at a minimum. Only pain in the arse is that to go somewhere else,you will have to fork out for a tune all over again.

[STAINLESS again plz]

go see mick at pit lane.

go pitlane everyone talks bout mick

I had around the same mods HPF had my car running around 303rwkw, I took it to Nizpro and they got 341 out of it, this was in my old BA S1 T56 converted.

You should at least 330+. It isnt always about the number but how it runs and how safe it is, but with such a low number it almost seems as though the person tuning had no clue therefor it might not be safe at all.

Did you ask the question as to why it was low? What did they expect from the car or what did they lead you to expect?

[DjGsTa]

Mate take it to Springy, I take my 10 sec ba there and my brother takes his ba there, 328rwkw and almost in the 10s

[whistler6]

As others have said, seems too low for all the mods. Should be into the 300's for sure!

Mick at Pit Lane is the man to see! Piss HPF off!
