jcw r56 just tuned with evolve software

https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...1&d=1360658199

Hi guys,

Thought I would post my tune with the evolve software. Hope the dyno, before and after picture shows.
So after a couple hours drive through the twisties with the new tune I have to say, i like it. Didn't like the flat tyre indicater coming on, thought it was another error code but was actually a flat.
The car pulls harder througout the mid range, 4-6ish grand in third and forth gear especially. Can't tell the difference in second gear at all. I am not complaining as the midrange torque is great and a welcomed improvement, but the top figure of 127kw standard at the wheels did not increase at all. Has anyone else had a similar effect? Or did I misunderstand what was expected from this tune? Going by evolves graphs the top power figure also increases. Emailed evolve and waiting for a response.

So a follow up from evolve was that i should dyno it again in a week or 2 as the tune should increase top end power as well. We strapped it to the dyno in standard tune and obtained the initial results, then roughly 6km later whilst remaining on the dyno, we uploaded the evolve remap and went to lunch for half hour. Was advised that this would have caused heat soak which altered the results. So will try the dyno again shortly as im back to fit the front camber plates and whiteline rear swaybar.
