The uncorrected figure was higher (584.6bhp), because I believe (from memory) that the "normal" air temp is 20°C, so if the cell ambient temp is greater than that, it will add power and if less it obviously subtracts.
Do not confuse the dyno cell's AMBIENT temperature with the ACTs

little update :
finishing the escos completely and the installation of the new box are put off to end of this year....this also means no brands hatch in november.....
on the other hand i see names on the horizon like FFD and xtrac
i decided rushing everyone will make lower quality standards and judged by the amount of hours and money spent on the project it deserves a different treatment
xsport will finish building it for me, in spring you will definitely see it out there

Mine's a weapon with 1400kg to haul round (if you have any lock on, it steps out sideways in 2nd gear in the dry on the mid-boost setting with Dunlop Super-Sport Race tyres in 245/35 flavour 
!). In the wet, it is sideways off every roundabout, just like being in 2wd again .
Fuck knows what yours will be like with all that extra torque and power, but more importantly 300kg less - your car is going to be undriveable and you will be running it in low boost all the time .

Yes, 13 hour day .
Freelander and trailer goes faster without the worry of someones £60k car on the back. Had some Chinese woman nearly force me off the road as she drifted into my lane without checking her mirrors . Trouser touching moment .
