Hi Phil,
U'm, isn't that the same bhp figure you had b4 mate.. lol
sorry, I haven't been on here much - working overseas, i thought you broke your cossie down and sold everything mate..?
are re-building it and re-spec. the set-up for less lag..?
good luck with your new project, i'm sure it will be one of IMA Racing's finest.

cheers.
Manoj
