I'm not sure are there any significant gains in power but they said the torque delivery is a mot better with the removal of that dip. Power stays around 200bhp on paper but I would imagine it's transferred much better.

I asked the head of the GT86 program about plans for upping the power (forced induction etc). He said Toyota as a manufacturer does not do FI so anything along those routes will be highly unlikely. Although whet I DO know is they are developing a more powerful race version of the GT86 for use in other race series! He wouldn't tell me exact figures but saint it would definitely be more powerful wink wink!
