New information:
the last time the rev limiter has cut too early (7,000 t / m) instead of 7,600 t / m. So I pass the dyno this week. Result?
My car still has 530 Nm of torque, but 493 hp (7,500 t / m) instead of 483 hp (7,000 t / m)!
A very good result, thanks to the update of the ECU Mike.

My new purchase!
Excellent device, best to check the actual performance of the car (even better than expected for Diablo Blanco).

Thank you for your comments!

The barrier of 500 hp is reached quickly, the next will be more than the 600 hp.

Thanks for those specs. You mentioned something about spacers, are you running spacers with those offsets? Or is that purely the natural offsets of the wheels with nothing else?

Thanks

Remember, my Vantage was 526.4 Nm and 493 hp, now:

538.3 Nm, 5'735 t/min (526.4 Nm, 5'173 t/min with OEM) --> 2.5% gain
518 hp, 7'365 t/min (493 hp, 7'350 t/min with OEM) --> 5% gain

Good job, Stuart!
You're welcome Vince, was my pleasure working with you and I'm glad we also got the sound level where you wanted it to be!

Hey Vince,

I next your help ASAP, ordering my CF10s but the offsets are a bit confusing.

You mentioned that your wheel offsets are 41mm front (no spacers) and 43mm rear (with 6mm spacers)?? Is that what is shown in your pictures.

I am trying to nail down the offsets exactly and I am having conflicting reports. Can you please verify if 41mm up front rubs on brake calipers or not? If not how close are they? (Perhaps close up pics of gap would help). Also if you could take picture of rear calipers as well.

So your real offset is 41mm front and 37mm rear?

Thanks

The rear spacer (6mm) Without the branch of the wheel touch (design of the wheels, the OEM wheels don't touch):



The rear caliper (OEM Vantage S and not Vantage no S):

Rear: gunmetal 19x10/43mm (2x)

Front: no spacer


disc and caliper (OEM Vantage S --> bigger the Vantage not S):



Front :gunmetal 19x9/41mm (2x)

Thanks for the picture, so to confirm fron offset is 41mm, rear offset is 43mm + 6mm spacer = 37mm total for 19x10. Correct?

Also, can you take a close up picture of the front spokes clearance between the branches and the front calipers like you did on the rears?

Thanks!!
