So, fellow Inglanders, who fancies a bit of a get-together for a few dyno runs?

If there are a hand full of people willing to do it, I'll look into arranging a venue.

But for now, let's assume it will be Manchester based.

Anyone interested?

I'd be interested in that - just finished adding a few mods including Softronics plenum, flash, air filter, de-snork and full milltek. Sadly I have no idea what the car could do before I made the changes.

I'm down south but would be happy enough to go anywhere.

Regards
Steven

I'll second that as I just got 3.1 on my 2005 so am waiting for 4.1 too.

Great. Thanks guys.

Karel, are you not up for this? See what the Yellow Peril is chucking out?

Jack, I keep all variables locked down - So I have always used the same Dyno (Surrey Rolling Road), Operator, Temperatures, Fuel, Tyres/Wheels and Tyre Pressures, etc.

This is so I can track Improvements (Not Differences in Calibration between different Dynos) in %age Terms. So if the 'Yellow Peril' was originally sitting at 295 BHP as rated by Porsche - Add the 19.8% improvement so far = 353 BHP (Which I Round up to 355)

My Next Dyno, will be after I have Installed v4.1 Software, and I will this time change up the fuel, from Shell 99 to BP 102 Octane - drive for a bit, to allow the ECU to RE-Calibrate and then I will have the 'Final' Definative Maximum Power Output. I will also do runs in 3rd gear (as usual) and also in 4th Gear.

Thanks for the Offer - but it is a bit far a way to go, for a doubtful benefit. My Dyno is just 8 miles from where I live and between the BP 102 garage and my Home so quite convenient (Don't want to use too much gas @ £2.48 a Litre !)

I am also doing controlled tests at a good Dyno on SHell Vmax

My base figure was 292Bhp so about spot on.
