Hi Guys,
Well, today I got off of the phone from Ray @ West Tuning over at Thruxton race course.
We've got the CLK booked in for next Wednesday, Ray thinks it will be approx 5 hours in total between the rolling road, analysing and tweaking the car.
I'm pretty excited, nearly had a Carbon Renntech this weekend too, but Jo the chap selling it is in two minds, and Ray said we could always tweak it again later for the intake if I managed to get it off of Jo.
Anyhow, we will see if the decat and intake modification helped or hindered the car, or indeed if it made no difference at all!
I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for a good result overall from the tune but we will see.
From our chat, we came to the conclusion that for my driving, it's not all about the peak hp and tq gains, although it would be nice to get a nice chunk, I am hoping that the power will be delivered much sooner and it will be more punchy, that's what we are going for anyway rather than all out screaming peak power - more response, quicker delivery and more drive ability with a bit more power to boot.
I'll report back on this thread once it's done, I've got a whole week to wait now though!!
Cheers,
Steve
