Went to Awsome the other weekend to get the car on the rollers.
The modifications are:
Pipercross Viper Induction Kit,
De-Ecotec'd,
Plenum Chamber Inlet Manifold,
Skimmed head,
Scorpion Imola full stainless steel exhaust system with Powerflow De-Cat, Janspeed 4-2-1 manifold.
Came out at 123bhp & 101 lb/ft at the fly.
Does this sound about right for the modifications, bearing in mind its still on standard management and the 6600rpm limiter?
Heres the Graph:

Blanked off the EcoTec valve, and removed the SAI.
I dont thinks its technically "De-EcoTec"ing it, but its just a general way of saying those bits are removed lol!

About right i think. Mine done 127bhp 105lb/ft. Ive got the same mods aswell apart from the induction kit. Id put money that you are actually losing power from having that thing on there!

whats the power on the graph then? wheel horse power?
the graph doesn't show 123 bhp
but if it's wheel horse power - people say roughly 23% added for fly. = 135 bhp

I honestly wasnt expecting my car to make 93....
I only had the head skimmed as i'd done the head gasket but the enginners who done it told me had to have a lot skimmed off as it was so bad i'm lucky it hadnt cracked.

You make LESS at the wheels, due to losses in power through the transmission etc.
