Im fed up of you all nagging, going to try and book a power run this weekend at powertune in widnes, will get it dyno tuned properly at a later date and get it done in wrexham like ladt time. will ring up later and see if they can fit me in

[PhilipGCaldwell]

power run booked for this saturday (25th) and is £40

As a standard 1275 is 53 bhp thats what my benchmark is to be a 1275 eating 998, however, I might not achieve this as Im not going to have it revved over 4000rpm on the rollers with it not being 100% run in yet.

Fingers crossed and watch this space, will take pics and vids of it, and a print out of the hp/lb/ft

Love it when people bow to pressure! Albeit, good pressure for good results!

[mini_in_progress]

i recon anything over 60bhp would be an 1275 eating 998 as its over 10% more

[RossKnight]

Just go run it in Drive it everywhere you can before saturday haha

[James_1]

Yeah, you can do it! A friend of mine managed to run in his Alfa GT Sprint in two days! Just drove it all night...

[PhilipGCaldwell]

drum roll...............46bhp

had it done today, the fella doing the power run says the mixture is weak as a kitten throughout the rev range

Shes in desperate need of a rolling road session and a properly profiled needle fro the engine spec, she also needs to have the megajolt mapped out properly for the engine, its just not running 100%

a proper rolling road session and she will be up in the 50's, but it will have to wait until May time, and once the engine is run in I can take it over 4000rpm

[oltonlad]

well at least its 11bhp over a standard 998, was that at a max revs of 4000rpm?

[andymini12]

That's not to bad! But with the 276 cam the peak power should be about 5700-6000? So once it's run in and had a good rolling road sesion it should make it in to the 60bhp area i reckon.
