And as I'm badly suffering of perfectionism since a while I'm rewarded to see my comfy girl running at her best.
Maybe an expensive tantrum? But let's not get bored with trifles, it's only money as they say...
Hence I can enjoy even better if possible my burr walnut trim, fine leather seats and thick carpet, hey Simon?
As Simon said,dyno’s always bring dissatisfaction. If your car is performing ok, and you do not notice someone accelerating away from you in an old Yugo, don’t worry.Dyno’s are like cars.... all are different, and give different readings, especially if the operator is not conversant with how they really work. Another adage is:- if it ain’t broke, don’t try to mend it.
It is a bit like upgrades. I have always thought that increasing power by a mere 10/20 Bhp is a waste of time. Much better to have original map tweaked to whatever it is that you want. Economy.More torque in gear can be better than outright Bhp.
