Going by my butt dyno that's my feeling too.

Anything over that I'll be happy.

What mods are you running? Assuming an IS38 or similar?

Very similar to me but no IS38.

Using IS20? Or hybrid?

IS20.  Can’t  justify the cost of IS38 for 30bhp odd. Thanks

Didn't realise you had gone Stage 3 now, I'm sure you weren't Stage 3 at Trax Silverstone 

 

Would kinda hope you're pushing more than 360 now but, JKM is called THE HEARTBREAK ROLLERS, they're harsh but true

You're probably right

 

 

My issue is the exhaust, it was a trade off vs daily use. So it's better than stock restriction wise but it could be alot better.

 

Plus as we chatted before I'd rather useable and reliable power than out right numbers 😉

 

Hoping to maybe see over 400 in March once it's gone back for a few weeks and changes.

 

Whatever the rollers show I'm happy with it which is after all the main thing 😊

TBH, whilst most people chase THE number I'm more interested in Nm & how wide a power band I can have that 450Nm for, far more usable. I tend to short shift at about 4-1/2k revs instead of chasing the red line, unless there's a diesel owner around then, well it's more the ****s N giggles & of course, because they can't 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

My Mk1 Superb (V6TDI) got me addicted to torque.  It was 163bhp (I think), but the lazy grunt was wonderful 😎

So stage 1 with a tricky diff on a fl will do ya ?

No! 🤣🤣  I have one of the first Mk3's, not a facelift. It has the original diff.

The one that works the traction control with the brakes ?

 

FFS feathering that throttle a bit there

Not sure what Traction Control is having converted to total grip all the time. Talking of which Tony my Superb made 359.6bhp (all useable power) and 514nm today with a cheeky remap. Probably top out about 170mph shame the analogue speedo only reads to 160mph now the factory limiter has been removed. My stage 2 Octavia Vrs245 was 517nm at 2,600rpm and the Superb makes it just 200rpm higher (around 378lb/ft).

I have to feather the throttle on take off from a stand still anyway otherwise the clutch slips.

Added my name, still room?

Looks like I'm heading off to a last-minute badly-organised stag do that arvo, so within the first 5 running order of the day would be perf, if you please ✔😎

 

Not sure if I'm classified as Stage 2 with the St1 remap and 'fancy bits', but not bothered about 'power podium', just interested in personal figures 👍

If there is space could I add a friend of mine (Matt) BMW 320d mapped and de-cat
