Dan Arrowsmith (R8TBOY I think is his username) has a dyno proven 530odd bhp at the fly (proven) and that was maxing out the injectors so he could in theory have even more power still!

then he posted a couple of days later that the engine had a fault and he was going to strip it or something along those lines.

Mates has just shy of 400bhp on low boost and the problem he is having is actually keeping the engine in the car
