i want to hear from mth - why arent they commenting on this? what happend to backing up their claims.. how did they achieve the gains they proclaimed? how did they get thsoe dynos in the early posts of this thread?

More importantly what have they done to solve this problem?

its begining to sound like a marketing scam

Is there a problem though....a few posts after the dyno graph has been posted and no reply from the person who has put it up there. There seems to be some incorrect data on the dynos as stated by some other fellow NAM members. One of the graphs shows a MC with a tuner file but the revs cut off at 6800, we all know tuner files cut out at 7200rpm.

Im not keen on the validity of the dyno shown....who knows if the files were ever run in...who knows what ever RON fuel they were running was correct too...

MCS Power comparison graphs
MCS Torque comparison graphs

Im alil lost....Where do you get a 22% loss in power on a fwd car???

Its more like 10-12% on FWD

This reminds me of a recent rolling road session here in the UK. A few of the standard MINIs (Cooper) were running "apparently" 130bhp, then an MTH tuner file powered MINI Cooper also got 130bhp. How stunned i was at the results, i then found out the rolling road was not set up correctly to take into account the larger wheels on the MTH powered MINI, hence the lower power results. You have to be sooooo careful with rolling roads guys !!

Of coarse different weighted wheels n tires are going to affect the dyno results.....Its all about how much strain is on the engine to make it work and wheels are a big factor people tend to forget about.

MTH is all good but i wish they didnt take weeks on end to get an upgrade to there customers.
