That's not freakin' bad dude, but wish there were before results before you did it too. Man this stuff makes me wanna start taking apart the 430 and start cleaning and restoring all it's true power.

I did post my original dyno results at 236 whp/236 wtq.... All of the dyno sheets are in the ***208 Prototype*** thread. That's where I got the +10/+10 for the results.

Sounds great! Thats not a bad RWHP figure for a 430, you should be able to make close to 260+ with the ECU tune. How does the "butt dyno" register? Any noticeable difference in acceleration?

Feels real strong throughout the entire rev range. I can make the ESP flicker going around corners now!!

The tune is needed because I believe the modifications have exceded the ECU's adaptation parameters...

Yeah sorry I missed the 208 prototype thread, forgot you posted the results there, my bad.

With a good tune GR....I think you could be close to 280 man....did you upgrade the flywheels or they don't need to be upgraded? ooo wee, can't wait to see whats next.
