The ron is far from a minority......anyway, that’s a great invitation from ls performance, if you can, head over and join the live chat with Luis. Trust me, there are not many tier1 tuners with the knowledge and experience Luis has that are prepared to put themselves up for this kind of thing. You have zero to lose ??

Really? I’ve been contributing to this forum since 2006. It was a busy place back then with many people trying new things to extract more power. I’ve had 2 engines blow up on me but neither were built by Monkfish or tuned by Wortec. The one I have in it now was and has worked absolutely fine since 2011. I wonder how many cars Monkfish worked on during that time and how many are out there working fine? Certainly they wouldn’t have had the reputation they earned if they didn’t know what they were doing and did very well right up to the point they closed. I say that as somebody who experienced poor service over several years at the hands of somebody else before Monkfish put it right.

Sure easy to make claims about other people’s work when they are no longer around to defend themselves.

I have the upmost respect for Carl and Luis and certainty both have a great reputation. The reason I asked my original question was to understand if gains could be had and I suspect the answer is probably yes. If it were a case of booking a few hours on the dyno get those gains I’d probably go for it but I don’t want to lose the car for a week and pay for a completely fresh start. To me it just isn’t worth it given so much of what I have feels right. My AFR also looks fine according to my graphs.

Ill speak to Luis later tonight as see what we can do it will depend on the tune already in the car so we will look this through first. If Luis feels he can work with it then im sure we can improve at SRR one morning when im up there already.

Thanks Carl, that’ll be really helpful. Please note it’s tuned using HPT, hope that’s not a problem.

I have the original Picador receipt for mine having a re-map and sports exhaust (both Wortec), along with a Rip Shift at 1478 miles in December 2005. It was £2100 which according to inflation is about £3150 now. I suspect just over half the cost was the parts so still a fair bit for labour/mapping costs, even for a generic map.

However my point is that the only mods that I have had since that original exhaust/map is a K&N element, yet the LS/MWP bespoke map has made further power, torque and drive-ability improvements. You get what you are prepared to pay for I suppose.

I think we may be comparing apples with oranges there. Yes I too had a generic Wortec “sport pack” map on mine when I first had the exhaust put on but wasn’t overly impressed. The bespoke map was a different experience entirely.
