On a side note a gentleman on the Maserati forum had his MC remapped with before and after power runs and his standard car ran 470bhp before being tuned. 505bhp after. That was on a DynoDynamics rolling road. Im from the car tuning sector so know that DynoDynamics are very reliable with their power readings. They can, as with all rolling roads, be manipulated to show higher than actual figures by unscrupulous operators but assuming the operators are doing the job right then then readings will be accurate.
Seems Maserati might be under quoting actual power output. I've a few friends that own tuning businesses and RRs I might take my car along, see what power it's running.
Also interesting to note was that he did an on the road side by side performance test with another standard GT and found no performance gain after the tune. I don't know if they just did full throttle redline shifting standing start acceleration tests or they also incorporated in gear roll on acceleration but the tests they did revealed no performance gain for the extra 35bhp and the owner concluded the remap to be a waste of money.

How odd, that's exactly what I said on the other thread 3 hours before you!Seems Maserati might be under quoting actual power output. I've a few friends that own tuning businesses and RRs I might take my car along, see what power it's running.
