16.430 with raised rev limit(7300) on mine!
My rev limit aint connected to me unichip any more either so for £70 you can knock 1/2 a sec off your 1/4mile time!
Got to be better value than a superchip!
I can adjust it at any time aswell, set to +10% at moment but with the flick of a few dip switches it can go higher/lower (+2% to + 30% in 2% steps)

Got 147bhp (118 at wheels) and 118lb/ft of torque.
Have to open me ecu to adjust rev limit, just 4 switches to change, different combinations give different limits.

My personal best with my 1.6 16v is 15.118secs @ 93 mph. I think that is good!

Yeah, when u put the standard wheels back on 
D4 could easily get into the 14"s if i done that. But you should take it on the strip how it drives on the road  You wouldn't have got near a 15.1 with yours 16"s

I agree it does make a big difference.
With my car how it always is, 16's and everything in car I got a 15.74 at best.
With car with 14's back on and rear seats taken out I got a 15.118.
But what is wrong with saving weight to get the best 1/4 mile time?

Cos if ur gonna drag, do it properly, otherwise, whats the point trying to get the best time if its not how the car performs on the road. I went to take my headlight out on sunday then thought, "whats the point, i aint gonna drive it like this on the road"

Then in that case u should leave the 16"s off, completly strip the interior like Kindnesses, fit plastic windows and do it properly.
Whats the point in being a half hearted drag racer? Fair do, u can understand when peopel put steelies on s tripped out 300bhp R5GTT, or like that Blue 2.0litre 8v Turbo nova on sunday (playing up), but then they do it properly.

Your punto GT weighs about 2332 pounds and can complete a 1/4 mile in about 15.204 seconds. That means that you've got about 131.14 HP at the wheels, and about 170.48 HP at the flywheel.
thats actually not to bad considering my 133hp @ wheels and 167hp at fly RR the other month
