I know its only 8bhp, but with the smoother rev range, increased torque etc, you do feel its a lot more that 8bhp. I suppose it depends what people want, massive bhp is not for everyone. I personally like the increase torque from 2000rpm.
Exactly, 50BHP increase sounds good, but not always what were after. Im after a little more BHP say 10-20 BHP, but more importantly a smoother power curve, sharper responce etc. - just trying to slightly improve what we have!!
