Hmmm... Interesting. 378

Took the Esprit to a PH dyno day at Veysport today. Slotted it in amongst all the Evo ix/x/xii etc and low and behold 378bhp! And 390 ftlb torque. Not bad for an almost stock car?

Just Lotus Sport exhaust, sport cats and K&N filters. I expect the 120 mile thrash down there helped too...

That's interesting because they have a Dyno Dynamics rolling road set up which the guys who set up my RX7 used to have. It has a reputation for being very accurate and not flattering so its fair to say thats what your car really does produce any idea what the figure at the wheels was?

315 at the wheels.

Not bad, just realised it was a load of guys from the HJC a local Jap Car Club that I used to belong to, suprised nobody asked if you knew Dave as most of the guys now know I have a Lotus

Paul, have you changed the chip in your car or is it standard?

No, not chipped yet! Boost does spike a bit at 4100rpm, but you have to remember that the graphs are under accelleration, so AFR and boost curves and readings can be misleading.

I think that, as always, carefull prep and setting up always pays dividends. Most of the performance cars I have owned make good power for their spec.
