But it does not feel like it has the power, to be honest it is probably the torque as it does rev but just does not pull, its very hard to put into words
In which case it's well worth getting it looked at dude - I'm no expert and clearly if you've grafted yourself into a position to own toys like fezza's you're not a fool (fair fucking play - one day....) - but it's gotta be worth a few hundred quid with a pro rather than a hugely expensive meltdown, just look at mark hales and the porsche 917....

I work just like everyone else, but yes i do work hard not uncommon to find dirt under my fingernails!

A 350Z / BMW Z4 feels quicker, i had the fueling checked today and it was spot on so know its not going to melt.

Will see what Stu says but i agree i could do with someone who knows the ecu to take a look at it. There is no diagnostic for it, you could pull wire off the sensors and you would not know it unless it was running rough.

Here are 2 Videos from the dyno run

Hi Paul, I'm not totally convinced they will make standard "book" power. That Mondial was on 25% 114 race fuel with a ratio higher CR and ported heads with retarded cams to better suit the race track. However, as standard they do run pretty rich and a lot of power was found from correcting that. The air flow meters can be an issue so might be worth swopping those out as they run 2 totally separate injection systems, one for each bank so a power mismatch per bank causes bit power loss and smoothness issues.

More than happy to strap her down and get some figures from here and go from there mate.
