Right its mapped power figure was 185 @ 6600 RPM which is about what i was expecting, torque was 156 lb/ft which was dead flat across the rev range with some decent cams i reckon it would make a bit more, but it pulls like a train anyway.
It will be at PVS but nowhere near as finished and tidy as id have liked but that was due to some last minute problems with suspension and brakeing which Jamsport have now sorted and robin will be dropping my car off at PVS

Nevermind, I'm still at 235bhp/ton so I'm slightly ahead
