Hi,
I realize the numbers I quoted rise som "reality check needed" type of reactions... I'm guessing there are at least a couple of possible reasons for the discrepancies:
1) different gas qualitites - our pump gas is more suitable for turbo engines, we even have 99 RON available (Shell V-Power)
2) our engines are tuned/re-mapped in real time in the dyno, and during several hours of road testing
Kevin's car, for example, delivered that kind of power with what we usually refer to as "mail order tuning", where several parameters need to be kept well within safe limits. This is especially true on high output vehicles where the difference between success and (very expensive) failure isn't always that big... I would, personally, be very surprised if a car with Kevin's H/W specs would pump out less than 540-550 hp after a serious re-mappning. Unless some H/W-limitations exist, that haven't been remedied.
It's not uncommon to "find" anywhere between 20 and 50 hp during a serious dyno and road re-map.
My car, which is really nothing special, has at least 40-50 hours of laptop work either in the dyno and during road testing.
Best regards,
KK
