Were you running the same mods before the engine probs?? ...cause you'll be at the same level you were at, although the engine will be stronger base to tune further on.

As above really.. would be sticking to a GT28 though if it was me, making anything over 350bhp with FWD is going to be less fun than 320-350bhp because of the limits of grip available.
