What where your mods before RMW? Obviously they were not very good. Ok wait a sec. Is that your dyno plot posted by evilduck?

Looks like a good outcome. Just about where you should stand with those mods if not a bit higher. But howcome your base run was so low prior the tune ?

Yes, thats teh dyno plot, somehow I forgot to add it.
The car was bone stock and all mods were added at one time.
Baserun shows what the car was capable of at that time. Some cars are stronger, some weaker. This one happens to be a weaker one.
Again, what matters is the delta. These runs were on the same dyno 8 days apart. Weather conditions were cooler for the first run.

I only pulled 141whp on my stock MINI, I guess I have a weak one. Seems like you pulled 148, which again appears to be a weak one.
Nice job though!

I assume the car was tuned at the time too due to the 440's added in. Where those really needed given the current level of modifications or is it to accommodate future plans?

correction factor set to 1.0
plus what it counts is the difference between the 2 plots
edit: plus the diff in limiter

Believe Jan recommends the 440s when doing his head, lets the car flow a whole lot more fuel.
So is the owner on NAM?

That's quite a nice improvement.
What's ended up being the total cost?
From the mods listed, I'm guessing around the 5k mark.

Christ,,,, I LOVE THE TQ. !!!!!!!
Jan hope you can do the same on mine. Don't forget to bring at least one of your cams along with your adj. cam gear when you come to Bay area next weekend. I'm definitely a buyer.

Just curious...can the stock clutch of a mini handle 230+ hp for long or will it need to swapped out?
I've only had my mini for a few months and came from the miata world. Anything over a 50hp gain in a miata significantly reduces the life of the clutch.
