Lol, at the Awesome RR day I got 283whp when you guys were at the ring. There was an issue with the coast down to calculate the flywheel hp but I'm fine with just the whp.

I have to say that F6 is a little too rich for my liking as I use F7 but it may be fine with your setup.   :smiley:

You know me,  all the graphs just look like etcha sketches to me.  :rolleye: But Dave at PD tuning seemed very happy with the set up on the car. I am Just starting to hunt round for a quiet intake to finish off that side of things. Have you got one yet, i seem to remember you were contemplating one when we last met.  :happy2:

I think you're wise, TC - I know that many here like to maximise and squeeze out every bhp they can from their cars but the shape of the graph and keeping headroom tolerance on how hard engine components are worked, is a much more sensible option in my opinion.

Even only 260 bhp on a K03 car is plenty fast enough for road use when combined with good handling, and it's still fun on the track as well. There'll always be a faster car in your rear view mirror.

TC  the BSH Truseal intake should be the quietest of the lot.

I'm not sure but I recon the cheaper BSH intake will give comparable results to the Dblias plus it's not as heavy (not that that matters).

when i get another intake i want it to be quiet.  loved the ITG but now i wanna try a new more understated route than before, so i can still drive as fast as before but without everyone else hearing me coming a mile away

....Yes, I'd question how any intake with an open filter could be quieter than one with an enclosed filter, even with two enclosed filters.
