hmmm
I have a little more brains than you obviosly think.
Knowing that people regularly do this, it is not a practice I participate in.
I know full well tha plenty of people will go to another rollers and have there car checked, so why would I Blag results for them to get there and be saddened by me lying to them and it making 30 bhp less than I had quoted....!!
This is a very fast way of losing customers and getting a poor reputation.
Not a good look.....................

I never said you had done that, you asked what you would gain from doing it which is what i stated a more satisfied customer.
Didn't say you did it personally

Not to sound funny but PF is 1 of th emost reputiable mags there is! in the fact they prove everythin they publish!
So they r hardly gunna make up things about 1 of there own cars!
As Mr C said perhaps there r things done to this car that Nick doesnt know of! i.e. turbo!
Am sure the 1st chance he gets he will b screwing it up brunters to prove the power with times!
& Im also pretty fookin sure Jamie, Danny & the jampsort lads would never forge figures! they ave a excellent reputation & also have made many many fookin rapid cars!

like Dan said its a good way of losing customers, maybe this will make people think the power is a bit easier to find than previously thought
*is it defo safe to run MFi on that power without a 5th injector then?*

BHP figures and graphs aren't that important anyway
IMO you can claim any power figure you like in an RST but if it makes 14 sec quarters or 130mph top end who cares, its not exactly fast is it??
My Fiesta ZT was never rolling roaded and was always live mapped and its power was judged on Its performance... probably why so many people thought the Fiesta had 300bhp+
I once found a feature on net about TOTB which claimed my fiesta had 400bhp 
Nick@PF take it to the track and time it
then will see if it has 250bhp

focus rs 1672
a hybrid t3 would struggle to make that power with his mods and boost level never mind a standard t3
a cam a chip and exhaust will make roughly 180bhp@fly,so adding a pro alloy i/c and big valve head will give a increase of nearly 80bhp,mmmmm i smell shite
so why are all these people spending sill amounts of money on engine mods when you simply need a big i/c and better head and youll have a 250bhp car
i for one would be interested in power@wheels figures and not these over exagerated fly figures
and i think ill take my car to these rollers when its back on the road
350bhp anyone

Even though the bhp has gone up loads, does anyone know why the torque figure has stayed pretty similar to before, as it dont seem like it has reasonably good torque for the mods it has?

I think everyone should take there car to Jamsport
You get an easy 250bhp form little mods going ot them.
You only get about 190 - 200bhp if you go to another tuner

Phat_focus, No m8 it wasnt!
Danny just a quick question bud! How long ago did the Q plate break 160mph!? & how long did it hold the RST top speed record!?
