223 WHP!!! Thanks RMW!!



2006 JCW with only a cam and header!

I'll have to have Jan explain the dip below 3000, but I think it was some type of equipment anomaly.

Never had it dyno'd before cam and header, but the pre-tune pull was 200/190.

Actually it really does! It's not so loud that it becomes tiresome, but gives my JCW exhaust a little more authority and deeper tone.

Great numbers. I can not wait to install a cam in my Mini and see how much more power it will make.

Happy Motoring.

It is amazing what Jan can find in the way of hp & ft/lbs.

Looks good considering the components, enjoy!

How about in-gear accerelation figures? Would love to see some videos if you have made any...

Davis, hope you don't mind me riding on the tails of your thread... but since videos and RMW were mentioned in the same response...

Here's what 207hp and 188lb/ft look like, in a Convertible S with an automatic... and the RMW header and cam...


0-80


30-90


50-90

The video is "upside down" since I turned around my GPS mount Flip HD Ultra to point at the speedo... and don't have any software to "flip" the "Flip"

Wow congrats! Those are great numbers! Think I'm going to have to pick up that Cam, my JCW with the factory header no cam was 196 after the Jan tune.

It's upside down, but it's STABLE!

You only have so many mounting options when you're using velcro

Hope nobody minds the videos... everyone around here always seems to be talking numbers from a dyno... vs. what actual real world performance seems to be.

And we already know how most folks in the US feel about drag strips!

First of all thanks for all the videos!
