I imagine there are a lot of things that can factor into the numbers. Temperature, elevation, gear, factory hp, etc. however, my car has about 38k miles.

Awesome! gotta love the SC whine

Very nice results.
I did intake and cat back exhaust mods...seemed a little faster, may have been in love with the sc whine and exhaust notes.
Then added the 15% pulley a couple months later, was faster, could literally feel the difference immediately no doubt about it.

I know what you mean, it was like a totally different car. spins like crazy now...However much power I am making, its enough to do this to my engine damper bracket

Is that BENT ?!?!?!?
WOW, better check mine out, no idea that was an issue....live and learn I guess.
I just a result more power that our MINI's were designed for it seems...or a weak point in their design. Probably both, like the mushrooming of the front shock towers...something else I have to prevent with after market parts.

Thanks for the pic...says a thousand words.

yeah it is bent. They are very much aware of the issue and have since sent me a replacement and have been selling/making stronger plates. So far the new brace has held up longer than the original did. I think itll be okay from now on.
