Last Stage of Tuning all done, up 11bhp & 30lb/ft
Discussion
Had the New manifolds tested and the new Trumpet base installed.
Trumpets gave a whopping 10bhp and 11ft/lbs, works out to a puny £25 quid a horse / ft/lb defo one of the easiest, rewarding mods to do, looking at half an hour fitting time, if that (less for a pro) and there you go, car is up on both power AND torque ALL OVER the range (Will try and scan the dyno sheets in)
The manifolds, gave a few ft/lbs, smoothing out the old line, but made the car sound like an EVIL NASCAR RACER... the noise before, with just the TVR sports exhaust, was a boomy, WIDE (only way to describe it), lazy noise, it was all encompassing, and fuzzy.
NOW, its raspy, mean, focussed, rippley... (sounds like i am describing icecream ;P)
