I would imagine with those mods the car would be putting out 230-250bhp or around that mark. 

The overall output isnt important though - its how it feels to the driver.

Some guys get really hung up on BHP figures but I think they are very hard to accurately measure and there are several(hundreds probably :signLOL:) threads on various rolling roads giving out inaccurate inflated BHP figures after modification.

If you like the way it performs and drives after fitting the mods - regardless of the exact power increase thats all that should really matter.

Just my 2p worth  :innocent:

Can only echo what StuF (stuff?!  :grin: ) has said. If you get a chance to read JonnyC's build thread, you'll see he didn't put his car on a RR as he wasn't interested in figures, only how the car felt to drive.

Also, take your time choosing mods and make sure they are right for YOU and YOUR needs. Everyone has an opinion but it's you that has to live with the car  :happy2:
