Default Torque figures

What kind of torque would you expect from a 4x4 saph running standard T3, 803's, 3 bar and MSD chip cos I had mine set up on Tuesday and it made 307bhp with 303lb ft of torque.
The dyno operator was astounded saying that they don't normally make anywhere near that

303ft/lb is a good figure

Thats the power of a Motorsport Developments chip

I didn't think it was anything out of the ordinary to be honest, but he couldn't believe it

Thats the kind of figure id expect from a standard T3 if your running about 22psi on the rollers TBH.... Ive had many owners report more, but i think your in teh bal park.

More importantly though, does it drive and perform well enough for you?

Yes mate, goes like a train now with a nice smooth power band but is hesitant and misses a bit when cold just before it's on boost.

The dyno opperator did say he was having trouble getting the mixture right at the lower end of the rev range and at tick over the CO just keeps climbing
