on the Dyno this past weekend

had my mini on the dyno for the first time this past Saturday. 3 passes all almost exactly the same. ran 170 HP to the wheels untuned. I have a Unichip Q, the shop says once i tune i should see 15-20% gain in HP. does this sound like a good number considering all my mods in the sig, or should i be expecting more or less?
Ill scan and post the graph tonight.
I feel like my next step is head, cam injectors, and throttle body. does that sound about right?

Looking at your sig., I hope that was a conservative dyno? What dyno was it? And yes a head would be your next step. I would call RMW, they seem to have the best head option right now.

I know all dynos are different but it seems kind of low considering the fact that MINIs come stock with about 150hp to the wheels. I think with all the mods you have, you should be seeing more. What gear were you in on the dyno?
