Max Power Member 381 Member For: 20y 9m 14d Location: MENAI, NSW Posted 31/10/06 06:34 AM Share Posted 31/10/06 06:34 AM I think something sounds wrong here; only 248kw for a custom tune. A bit on the low side. Is that with the 968's that you have? Did you see your afr's? Were you running 98 ron at the time?Oh and dont forget to change your handle as it clearly isnt. Sorry - couldnt resist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its was my number 6 piston and rod.So my advice do the billet rods and forged pistons now it will be a lot cheaper then later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
