Still the point here is that your engine is clearly in a healthy state whatver the exact output
Rebuilt engine Dyno - 378bhp!
- Thread starter sixspeed
- Start date
Sixspeed happy to see your car back on the road and stronger 
Can I ask you if you see any differences after the tuning on the following situations:
1) At cold start the car starts the same way as before the tune?
2) What is your idle rpms?
3) Have you noticed a difference on the mile per gallon consumption?
4) Have you seen a difference between driving the car on with sports mode on or off?
5) Do you have a smell of gasoline out the pipes?
With the cams do you see any difference in the low rpms?
Thank you...

Glad you got it all sorted and showing some good figures, but you know the only real way to test it is against my car on a airfield runway right.
Haha!
I'm there on the 6th? (although in my newly acquired Giulia QF, not the Z - but it could be there...)
Ha wouldn't really stand a chance against the Guilia, saying that will an Alfa make it to the end of the runway!!
I'll probably be at the goodwood breakfast, so will keep an eye out for you.
Hey FD3S, long time...
1. Cold starts are a pretty spluttery, lumpy affair, but it smooths out after a minute or so.
2. 1,000rpm
3. MPG on a cruise seems much the same to me. I'm sure in-town/city driving would suffer a bit just due to the increased idle RPM.
4. Ive never used sports mode on my Z, and haven't tried it since the new tune, but i'l try and let you know.
5. Not that I've noticed!
6. Low RPM is still very driveable. It's probably a little less torquey than before but hard to discern, and I don't drive the car as often as I used to. Either way it doesn't feel a whole lot different at low RPM to before, so far!

Have they sorted the heel and toe issue with their software now?
Yup, last year. Bumped into Imran at VMAX last month, and was telling him about the engine etc. He told me then that they'd figured it out. Hence why I booked to go back for the cam work.
Randy@Epic did send me a map, and a further tweak for the cams but couldn't get it just right, and I didn't want to keep going back and forth. Once I knew Evolve had sorted their problems it was easier to just take it up there and let them have a look at it

I have confused. Who has done the final tuning at the end? :roll:

That's good to know! Thanks
