Thanks for all your hard work Jan!
Much more drivable, gobs more torque (~20 ft/lbs across the board), and about 10 more peak horsepower, though the whole curve is shifted north across the board. Butter smooth - major improvement compared to how it was. I will scan and post my dyno sheet at some point, but a great MINI day. Cool guys waiting in line too (hope they're not too upset about the delay...).

Congrats, great number indeed.
Last time I drove you MINI, it was very responsive already. Can't imagine this time.

Sounds like the new toys did the trick. How does the new exhaust sound?
And you talking about WHP right.

I have heard the same thing, like Edge in California. Heard they have only seen 1 or 2 Minis at over 200 whp

I understand it's all in the delta. And Like I said about Edge, I think they also have a Mustang.

The record was DKstone 218 whp with a bad supercharger. He'll be back this weekend with a new one and getting a new cam if it's there. Great numbers so far.

for now (30+ cars still to go over the next week+). Eric said it's the highest non-turbo car so far. stock MCS reads 150ish for comparison.
We left some power on the table in the interest of getting a safe tune and get me home before I got in big trouble..the day started way late and my first up slot ended up being last up, getting on the dyno at 9pm. In fact, I just walked in the door about 10 minutes ago and the wife was waiting for me. She's a saint....first stop for me is flowers for her in the morning.
PGT....now about to pass out
