In most cases he asks to leave the car there a few days do he can spend plenty of time on it, I just need to get reassurance by speaking to him personally as he does mostly VAG stuff from what I've seen. He did the White Polo that turned up at the RR day and it's a beast now, from 150bhp to 240bhp, rapid.
I'll see tomorrow and go from there. Bob wants to run it again on his rollers in 3rd, as he's been looking into it like me. Top fella.
most cars will make more power in 4th....
I know Jason at BMChiptuning, i can ask him some questions if you want?

It's cool not too worried.
It made 324bhp & 254ft/lb torque @ 192mph 
Topped out at 197.7mph 
But I'm happy, just need to sort the fuelling as its running lean to up 4k rpm. He spoke to his mate who used to work for the MPower division of BMW and he said its a good figure. The 343bhp figure comes from an engine that was out of the car without a water pump & aircon attached, so just raw engine power, which no M3 will have on the road, hence they barely make 320 standard. Pretty interesting chat with him tbh he's so clued up on it all. Still going to take Bob up on his offer so will see what it makes in 3rd on them.

whats classed as lean?
you can run a N/A without cats upto 13:1 AFR (if you have cats they get too hot and glow!)
my corsa was mapped between 12.5 and 13 to 8krpm by track n road

Graham did your MPS have more torque than that? My Astra had another 100lb/ft and I imagine your MPS did as well.

Yeah 305 I think it was. These aren't torquey engines
