Excellent news Graham, glad it's all gone well and you're pleased.

Absolutely agree. I've had mine dyno'd twice one machine, on one day said 140bhp but the machine used when Superchips did mine said 135bhp before(just under the makers figure) and 150bhp after. Those figures sound about right.
I'm not getting mine tested again as I dont like the stress it puts the car (and me!) under. It drives nicely and thats fine.

Still not gone near a dyno.
But, I have noticed the rev limiter has moved from 5900rpm to 6500rpm, which is quite handy and the engine now pulls all the way to 6500rpm nicely.
0-60 stats should be better as I can now get to over 60mph in 2nd gear!

I have not got as many miles out this tank of fuel since the remap. Has to be a good sign!
Dyno time is Monday 14:30

*Ahem* Without wishing to offend ScottShude said:He would destroy you and you know it!...
What his Crossfire lacks in performance (w.r.t. G's chipped C230k, though I think you are joshing too Nick ) is more than compensated by his lack of fear! 
That's meant as a compliment mate
S.
i would like to see that race .....
Having said that ... scott can have his engine conveted to that of a C32 by that company that tunes mercs in america
1 ) insert supercharger
2 ) buy shares in michelin
3 ) buy shares in shell
lol :bannana:

You'd struggle to do that for the price of an ECU update thoughfuzzer said:Having said that ... scott can have his engine conveted to that of a C32 by that company that tunes mercs in america

Nearly, it was an exbenzive ECU upgrade!

I've had it!
What's the torque like on the C230K Graham? 190 standard or something...? I have about 230 standard. Will be interested to see what you've gained.

Sorry shude, I forgot to mention the units! I was referring to ft-lbs. I did a quick search around for C230K torque readings, but couldn't find two numbers the same!

Looks kinda expensive to me, considering you're essentially buying some numbers! I wonder if I could get a shop to copy the ECU data off Graham's chip and blast it onto mine, would prolly be cheaper and we could share the cost of having his done!scotth_uk said:
