Not yet, Tuls. I got caught up with some work deadlines and haven't had a chance yet.

Did you ever have a chance to dyno your MCS? Any additional thoughts after living with the mods for several months? Thanks.

I actually don't know how many HP the car now has. My 250+HP assumption is not only from what Adam estimated, but Eddie as well. Eddie drove Junior and had the reaction of, "Wow! This is definitely a lot faster than my '04 that has about 250HP."
Great write up, unfortunately your HP guess is too high. I have the same bolt on parts plus their PnP ECU and I'm at 208 HP at the wheels (dyno performed at ALTA) I believe I'm losing somewhere in the neighborhood of around 10-12 HP ATW because I have an auto transmission. You should be around 200HP, when you add in a PnP ECU you'll get up around 220-225 HP. At least that is what I've seen from ALTA's testing that they've posted on their website.

I believe what you are feeling as more HP is actually the higher torque that the R56 puts out, especially with the mods.

Once again, great write up, I hope you are continuing to enjoy your newfound power!

Do you have some pictures of the engine bay? Did the downpipe give your exhaust more roar????

Thanks!

Whom are you asking? If it is me, the first one answer is I do not have the means to capture video. The second question response is, I have a few pictures posted here and I have the same pictures saved here (Firefox seemed to have a problem loading the first page thus the second link). And yes, the downpipe adds quite a bit to the sound. I love how it sounds now versus the stock exhaust, it now has a nice deep throaty rumble to it.
