Default Texas mile Porker gets more power

Just seen this on 6speed Joetwint whos car run 231 last year has been getting more work done and has just ran 1037atw on the dyno around 200 more at the wheels than before. His car gets ran 4wd on the dyno but actualy runs 2wd normaly so would be even higher

Fresh air will also be warmer.. warm air + engine = less power, even i know that

Dont think it would loose much power due to temps, the day it was on the rollers it was 105 degrees and about 90 degrees in the dyno room.
The Americans seem to use Porsches as a good base to mod from and dont add as much Porsche tax as the Euro tuners , but would still think there would be about 40K in the engine.

Also looks like one of the biggest steps recently is something the cossie boys have been doing for years, uprated head bolts and slightly lower comp so they can run more then 1.5 bar.
