 :signLOL:

I know its not running 350bhp Alex, its all just a bit of fun realy   :grin:
It was a strange day as all the lower powered cars (sub 300bhp) were spot on power and torque wise. Good old dyno lottery  :drinking:

Thanks for the kind comments mate  :happy2:

I would put it all down to the wheel spin you mentioned.

The Dastek comment was an in house tuner joke with a certain tuner.   :love:
