To the best of my knowledge, the Brembo GT system has never been fitted to a car with OE 19" wheels. When RSC/Brembo were working on the DB9 kit the same issue cropped up and after much measurement of stock wheels and profile drawings of the brakes, I think it that the stock 19" wheels would fit if our spacers were fitted but we haven't confirmed this yet.

They do look great tho....

you have no idea ... RPI dyno has been added to the RPI thread. 13.7HP @ wheels is definitely no joke.

Just getting started...
007
Nicely done! This is from the tune and the new exhaust alone? Are the gains all along the curve or mainly at the top end?

44WHP from exhaust and ECU....

Wow, that's the the most unbelievable gains I've ever seen for a normally aspirated engine.

Not sure I follow you. The dyno chart shows a gain of 44 HP or 31.3 HP?

I believe that the Aston martin power upgrade has a tune for higher octane fuels.
I have tried VP ms109 and improves the throttle response and the car is faster overall.
I forgot to mention that smell very nice.

The software alone made 31.4HP. These gains were on top of the 13.7HP gain the RPI exhaust made. Its actually 45 wHP for the two combined. I

Once you see the chart it will make more sense. I should have gotten it already, but in all the excitement I totally forgot to ask for that graph as well
Gotcha, thanks. Looking forward to seeing that chart.
