Posted on that thread. I can't see a k04 making 360bhp personally, unless it had race cams fitted on top of the bolt on mods.
Some of the figures look a bit off as well. 360bhp off 272whp - I don't car if they say it is how the power is calculated. WHP is taken from the dyno and then calculated up to BHP at the fly surely?
To be fair John, there is a S3 making that power on ASN and a another Cupra I know of making 350+, so I don't think it would be a million miles off.. If things don't go tits up next year (feb time) I myself may invest 300 sovs @ JBS and then nip to see Corey to spend a further £50 on some extra software...
Yes, but you see these figures are still open to debate too. The JBS map I have is relatively agressive with a 1.6 bar peak and 1.55 bar to 6k+revs and still only makes around 330bhp. Apart from moving to a DBilas there is little else that I can do with bolt on mods and even JBS say that 350bhp is about the limit (and they aren't known for being conservative
)
We are back to the willy waving scenario and the "which dyno is accurate" syndrome again
Even if you go up the strip there is no definitive way to determine whether one car is more powerful than another at the limits of the K04 as this too is down to minute variations like launch, gear change revs, tyres, suspension setup etc
I personally enjoy the RR days for the meet and greet rather than the absolute figures (although they are fun!) and I'm just happy if my car seems to be running right with a stable curve
