Because it's a power acheivement for my engine, I'm not going to gloat I pushed an extra few HP when I didn't even run an air filter, it's just nice to know I've pushed that on the dyno with a trumpet that I will use as a show peice when I get my engine looking nice.
I don't want to speculate the maximum power I could have, I'd rather just know on the dyno the max run was ###, typically on the road I run ###. If you didn't print the run, the power never happened.
It's about reaching as high as possible as I know I won't be doing many more power modifications. I'd like to be as happy as possible with my last couple of runs, its a personal acheivement with the modifications I've done so far, it's not a power race or pub talk figures. It's purely to get as much as possible for my own personal benifit. I've never owned a car with such power, so I'd like as much as possible for my print out on my wall at home before I start saving for a house. Every little helps.
And 5hp means alot when you've spent alot of cash trying to hit a target. Tell that to the guy who had 995bhp, to me its the same thing, a goal is a goal, I want to reach it.
