I did a dyno once on 91 my car was 157hp with 121tq..the next week i went back on the dyno with 93 and my car hit 168hp with 138tq.. with better gas there could be better gains. hoping someone in the states does a dyno
Good points, the curve with the ESC is much better. I don't see why E85 + header has to compete with/be mutually exclusive with the ESC. If you have access to E85, I'm sure there will be tunes out there soon for the ESC + E85 that will probably make at *least* 220 whp, probably more. Add a header and you should see gains as well, though I think an E85 tune + ESC will get you most bang for the buck. That's a lot of power in a car this light, and it's great that it can be put back to stock in an hour or two max.
