Are you still on the 14 cux. Joolz mapped my 430 last month running an Emerald and it gave 265.

What work have you had done.

My 4.0 litre Gas Bag gave 260hp on petrol & 261hp on LPG.

However, clearly how much you can trust any rolling road is a subject for significant debate.

Probably a lot easier just to not go there.

I work on the basis it goes well enough for me, drives very nicely on either fuel & still makes me smile every time I take it out smile

If I need more it'll get a turbo, that way I'll be sure to feel the improvement wink

Anything else is just tickling around the edges.
