And what non-standard performance mods have been fitted? And is anyone able to say how much any single mod/upgrade gave them, with before and after figures?

A quick search will tell all, pre Topcat work.

Just toying with the idea of 'smoother drivability'

Im not saying a word about Austec's remap with the Surry RR day so close (begining to poop my pants now) apart from the already agreed improvement in low speed driving (although the info/bragging/BS can be found by searching the forum)

Go for it Robert

I'll go for it with Ive got the spare cash available, and get everything else done at the same time. I spoke to Paul last week, who much to my delight said pops and bangs wouldnt decrease with a remap

Sounds like everyones keeping quiet about their own BHP figures till after the 12/3...

Bob...mine was 360 BHP pre Emerald remap (and dyno'd on 2 different rollers and both were the same reading..), and after the remap 381 BHP. Car is much more responsive around the 3500-5000 rpm range, much more torque, and driveability around 1500-2500 much smoother than before.

Did Joo map your car? And re: pops and bangs, were they the same, more or less of them after the remap?

Yes Joos cast his magic wand over the car!

The pops and bangs in the lower rev range (1500-2500) are less, but I dont mind this personally...but around 3000 upwards...no difference!

yup less pops and bangs in the lower area .. it's that critical area just off closed throttle that you need to richen to get rid of as much of that 2k rpm stuttering as possible .. it's not a massive enrichment but is enough to lose you the popping in that area (you need to run slightly weak to get the popping, but this hinders the smoothness of the engine) .. above that point in the rev range of course you're able to map that bit for popping as you'll never use very closed throttle above 2500 rpm to generate power, you'll almost always be slowing down above that revs on closed or very close to closed throttle.

As I'm not making the rolling road day, thought I'd let you know about the Austec remap on my car - I'm stage one into the remap - now showing 380bhp at the flywheel - 320bhp at the back wheels (all with the standard cats/exhaust etc) - having the matched injectors and final bits done this week - hoping for close to the 400 mark. Driveability is very good - still not perfect at low revs - but I dont use them that often anyway! I know its not the magic 420 - but bloody close and scary enough for me.

Pity you're not making the RR day - would be good to compare Austec's seemingly rather optimistic rollers with another!

Always happy to meet up sometime and waste a few pounds on a power run - all in the name of science of course.

Well, that's sorted then. Spoken to Charlie and hopefully being tested next week before the rolling road day. as you say dannylt - it'll be an interesting comparison between two sets of testing equipment!

I'm not a Cerbera owner but the highlight of Pistonfest for me was the purple nitroused Cerbera kicking ass on the drag strip, it span it's wheels most of the way down the strip.Can anyone remember what BHP that was kicking out.

I'm sure Craig will respond, but in his defence it's not as glamourous as it sounds but I think you'll find he had just fitted a borrowed set of rear tyres/wheels forthe strip and they rubbed the arches .
AS to power I'll let craig say but I think non NoS mode it's around the 400 mark.
