An important consideration is that 250hp on 1 dyno might only be 230 or 235 on another.
When I had my ITR it made 216 on one & 188 at Eurospec. This became 196 Peak when mapped. (& transformed throughout range!) Romain said most stock integras only made ~180 on their dyno so already short of factory quoted figures.
Had I gone back to the first place it would have been 220+ Peak no doubt. Proper quote-me-happy stuff.
The spec was identical between the initial runs (Mugen airbox/Twinloop/98 header/hiflow cat)...
Most factory standard A7's in an ATR only just crack 200bhp on a given dyno. A real world gain of getting on for 50bhp is quite some undertaking. The motors are supposedly not far shy of 100bhp/litre so already producing healthy figures
Of course more power is achievable with simple bolt ons & mapping- but when chasing that last little bit it's gonna get £££££
