Why cant it be 216 fwp with 173 whp, not calling you out i just want to understand it all, im not into naming tuners as we all know they have ups and downs im just going by graphs really.

Yea i understand the 2 differnt dynos situation i always thought getting close to 200hp in a clio 197 cost a small fortune. Which is why his results surprised me
Im a little confused by 2 cars one my own and the 2nd is a mates.
Ive just had mine on the dyno to see what is making (was mapped 6 years ago) and a mate had his mapped in march.
Im just looking to see what these little clios should be making in standard form or modified form.

If your mechanically minded then yes go ahead and do it. It took me about 15 hours from start to finish but that was everything done by myself even getting the box back on the block.
