Spec for mine (above Hiltonig's) is 5ltr, stage IV, H404 cam, lightened balanced and all that stuff Rob does. RR BEFORE the ACT triple was 330BHP and roughly same for torque, must be in the region of 350 BHP now?

In conversations with Rob, he doesn't recon the ACT exhaust give a big improvement over decatted standard.

Love the throttle response and now doing tuning refinements with the Mega Squirt Tuner Studio, laptop balanced on the center console, one eye on the road, not recommended ;-) but very handy for tweaking. I've been working on helping cold idle and improving that dreaded 1-2k area. Shunting now not bad at all.

Thanks for reply - mine is similar spec (and figures ie 330/330) without the ACT triple - so is it just an extra 20 on the figures or is there any other differences ie driveability etc Thanks, Paul.

For me there was a huge difference in drivability, the throttle response alone is worth it regardless of power, the throttle is lighter and very sensitive, once you get used to it, brilliant. Heel and toe is super easy, throttle blips really easy and power down still nice and progressive, just much faster.
Regarding power, so hard to know without a RR, and the same RR as before as they all give different readings, but it feels more powerful for sure.
