No, not in the key of C. An H is likely involved though ...

those are pretty weak numbers for a type S in stock condition let alone the bits you've put in. you have an issue somewhere else maybe.

also type S cams are pretty wild considering. are you sure the ones you bought are not just a copy of them? i know some companies just measured out the type S cams and then started knocking them out as aftermarket.

Is the car a Type S or just the engine. You have a pants header and small exhaust.

yeah the manifold and exhaust will be holding that back but stage one cams are not too good anyway they are designed to be an improvement over stock cams so wont do much over the type s cams
should go stage 2 at a minimum

The dyno that he is on could be reading a bit low so there might not necessarily be anything wrong with the car.

Hmm, sounds pretty strange, as I would be expecting to see at least 240bhp with the parts you have fitted, perhaps with the exception of the camshafts, as others have mentioned. Looking at the parts you have fitted I would consider the following:
  • (Edit) Standard intake manifold? - Remove the butterfly valves or get an uprated intake manifold.
  • 2.5" exhaust at the very least as this will likely be restricting the engine from working as hard as it could be.
  • Fuel system - When was the last time the fuel filter was changed? Might be worth having the injectors checked, although it is rare that they develop faults.
  • A quick compression test might would give you a good idea how healthy the engine is, as there could be problems here.
Let us know how you get on, will be good when the parts are all working well. 8-)

I would have to disagree with that. There is nothing on his spec list that vastly increases torque, which is where he is going to get the majority of his potential power increase from. The other would be an increase in RPM.

We need the graph and all the other info.
