So that's maybe a 40bhp gain at the flywheel? Maybe 35? I guess that's roughly what I expected on mine too. Be really interested to see what difference the new engine management makes once you get that sorted out.

It is nice not to have lost any low down bhp and I'm surprised tbh. I think you need to take the really low rpm stuff with a pinch of salt, its a 2000bhp dyno so a 964 barely moves it.
The ignition map is on the "you spilt my pint" side of aggressive, so you defo want VPower in there imo.

Yes indeed, great guns after 4000rpm, quite nice for launches, when you rev out 1st gear you drop back into the power when you shift to 2nd. The thing actually feels fast in a straight line now.

Dave's engine which is also a 3.8 puts out similar figures and his power band is completely linear, no coming on cam - just there. Driving his and mine back to back during the alp tour was a real revelation. Amazing how different all these engines can be...

Great stuff! Glad it's finally sorted fella. My engine works in much the same way, when it comes on cam is when all hell brakes loose.

Yup. He built the engine himself and had help for timing etc...

Before rebuild on the stock chip, decat, factory primary and secondary, it was 176.9 bhp at the hubs ... now it's 198.7bhp - I'm pretty happy with that gain.
Much more power now after 4000rpm with a torque curve that's wider - obviously you can really feel this on the road, and gains a few hp before 4000 too.
