i would only listen if the dyno was dyno dynamics or maha and the place was reputable
steve it was a dastex rolling road, and my car, as well as others, made book figure

solid engine tho 
no way are the 12v solid engines I would sooner have an 8 valve in fact I did for 3 years and notthiong went wrong with it 80k later
That's what i meant.... 1.2 8v's are solid engines

Not a set of, just the one.
I don't see that as possible, Shane must have either done more to it, or had a 1.4, like Chris has
