Question

Very interesting. Do you have P31?
Is that Evolve Technique, & is that place operated by Peter Mcleod?
Let us know the details, what power & torque you get etc?...and of course, how the car feels after.
Before & after readings would be good.
Cheers, Pickles.

ok so i took the car in today and when i picked it up i had a smile
The car just frys the tyres 1st till the end of 2nd i didnt know what to expect but im happy

The car feels like it shifts harder and there is heaps of tq it just pulls

Thats the only way i can describe it

The also sold me a 2nd hand carbon intake which looks the part and it has wider intake tubes that run to the front im not sure if it will make a difference but who knows

Does anyone use BMC filters i havernt put the filters in yet and i havernt taken the charcol filters out

IM not sure if i should do this or not

I am in Sydney as well and looking at getting a tune and maybe some other work done as well.

I have heard good things about Autowerks as well but I am wondering if there is anyone in Sydney who does the MHP tunes/headers.

They are getting some good gains plus they have been tried and tested over and over and have held up excellently.

I had mhp tune, with autowerks headers. My best et was 11.8@118mph. With bps tune autowerks headers, 11.9@120mph. With autowerks tune and headers 11.7@121mph. My time slip is posted in the oz section. When I ran my 11.7 I had my 20s on the front.

Personally, I would not go with a mhp tune. We have better options locally. Also mhp headers won't fit our cars as its made for lhd cars.

Best thing to do would be to go & see him & have a chat.
Unfortunately, I'm in Melbourne, but I know a guy in Syney with a C63 & he wouldn't go anywhere else...Sonny has an awesome reputation....not the cheapest....but unsurpassed quality....like I said....go & see him.
Cheers, Pickles.

Thank you H,

At least now I have some solid results from Autowerks to compare with other tuners.

Time to get some pricing and make a decision.

I also had my car tuned by Sonny, best money I ever spent. Had a tune done by another shop previously and had nothing but problems, Sonny is the only guy I would use and recommend
