Rob, we are not really saying this either. We would like cars to have more power. Makes it easier to kick Holdes and Fords.

But what we are saying is that we find it very strange for an engine of that calibre to pull that amount of horses with the mods that you have done.

(Is it me or is this deja vu with the mid 13 drag times?)

Even a properly tune FMIC is only going to give you max 10 - 12 hp gain on a dyno....

I know this from experience.... as does 25GTT.... and probably a few others.....

A properly tuned FMIC (FMIC + fuel control) should give 30+ hp. I'll confirm that, so will Barrie at Barries Dyno and Steve at SST.

Agreed... BUT i said FMIC only.....

I put fuel control in my car went from 181rwhp to 219rwhp.

When i put FMIC later car went from 241rwhp to 252rwhp.

What you really said:

I spotted the possible confusion from a mile away, so I defined "properly tuned" to mean setup in conjunction with fuel control.

I put fuel control in my car went from 181rwhp to 219rwhp.

Nice. Same sort of gain I got.

When i put FMIC later car went from 241rwhp to 252rwhp.

And if you had "properly tuned" the s-afc to suit, there should have been another 20+ hp hiding in there.

Aahh dont for get boost is very relative as the standard intercooler is efficient at 7psi the more boost u run the less efficient the ic and more gains to be had when tuned with the bigger ic

You guys should be lucky i got 26hp from turbo upgrade , 2 psi jump and AFC tune! beat that

Dude, you ran a flat 13! I'd call that a worthwhile upgrade.

I didnt notice any performance difference at 15psi before or after AFC tune Dude.

Only in the same way as a dyno mate (ie: under controlled conditions and with calibration).

Things like weight and diff ratio can have a very large bearing on terminal speed.
