SMall updat efor anyone who remembers, cars all mapped and setup made

310bhp and 320 lb/ft

got a splitter waiting to go on harnasses to go in and gauges

improved 1/4 to a 13.8 struggling for traction so need stickier tyres.

So Alex are you going to change the engine for the new RS Focus they start at 300bhp but some are going to 350bhp.

Only problem will be keeping in a straight line as there only front wheel drive.

No i wont be, not a fan of the T5 Volvo engine. Its the ST 225 engine with a different turbo and cooler. My cars already quicker than one. Very much prefer the Duratec engine. Mountune have there hands on one thats the 350 bhp theory but my engine will take it how it is too.

Yup ive decided to sticck with 310 for now i tihnk much more would ruin my car in all honesty but with a new diff planned may end up higher still.The 1st picture is a new ST foci.
