My series 2 - (3200 miles) a spot on factory quoted number of 333.9 bhp. Not at weighbridge, but we'll assume the same as boshly's as mine even has the chrome side vents fo exactly the same spec.. General feeling is that the engine is barely run in and has more to give as it's a bit tight at the moment, so I'll look forward to making an extra 29bhp al la boshly as time goes on. Fun morning, good to see the regulars  As previously quoted by S1 ran 296.something bhp with the sports (single pipes) exhaust. Me thinks that cerials has had some fettling at some point as 318 is a fantastic result! So thats 261bhp per ton. My previous s1, assuming weight the same as cerials would be 250bhp per ton..

Hmm my torque is the lowest. Still guess that will improve as the engine loosens up. Just have to get on and drive it as much as possible. Seems like the best tuning option I could ask for!!

Exactly, look what it's done for BtG's DynoRod Special, having been thrashed within an inch of it's life by loads of motoring rotter's sorry, writers; not to mention Andy's own contribution!
