I agree too much mine is bigger than yours BulS8** about and the peak power isn't everything for a road car.

How many times do i see over 3000rpm driving around for work during the day once maybe.

But the low down power, the low down torque is FAR better than I have experienced with the Chiptorque. The dyno reading says that also. By the way, the dyno readings we performed before the 3000 stallie was installed. As for dyno testing in 2nd and 3rd gear, we did perform that with results which were almost identical. Hardly a difference. Just about dyno's, there are only a few shootout dyno operators that are certified and have to guarantee to the dyno manufacturers ( regular testing for accuracy is done) are accurate and fortunatley, Bill Towler is one of two I believe in Adelaide. I simply can't believe some of the RWKW readings some people post on these forums IMO. I mean, 140RWKW plus form a NA I6 with just zort, CAI and chip? There is too many dynos that lie,especially in Melbourne/Sydney. Make sure that you are using a certified shootout company for accurate dyno results.

If the car was tunhed perfectly using a piggy back and then retuned by using a flasher, there's every chance the RWKW may not be any different at the top, but it should pick up more midrange, by controling all paremeters than a piggy back ever could, and as said earlier, the car would probably be more responsive, more pleasureable to drive and probably rev to peak RPM quicker, even though it may have the same final RWKW.

Go back to dreaming about the day you can finally buy yourself a polarizer!
