I don't believe the valves close at 5100 -- they stay open from 3800/3900 through to the redline.

Eric, congrats on the car -- let's see pics!

 

thanks speedraser! I haven't been a member of the forum long enough to have a 'garage' but here's one picture from a photo shoot a couple weeks ago. sorry 007 I don't have enough posts yet to private message you but i'll message you as soon as i can about your experience with eurocharged.

 

Prodrive and Paramount no longer offer this

 

Was the 19rwhp from the ECU tune? Can you share the dyno chart(s)?

I thought Paramount still offers their custom tuning as well as reselling of the Viezu tune using V-Switch

The car looks great. Which black is it?

 

thanks! its jet black exterior with the obsidian black interior, and black rims. thinking about blacking out the grille as well, usually i'm not a huge fan of black on black but I think it all came together nicely
also, since this is thread is kinda about torque curves, has anyone with the stock back box pulled out fuse 22? my AM dealer tells me it will 'noticeably' reduce torque

 

Your dealer is making it up. No change to torque or HP.

 

that's what i figured. thanks

 

Bamford Rose, who should know, says there is no difference. They showed a test of exhaust flow at (IIRC) 3000 rpm with the bypass valves open and closed. No differences were seen, so there should be no effect on torque. However, it doesn't actually show results at lower revs, but BR says there wouldn't be enough flow for it to matter. That said, there have been people who claim that they've seen an impact on torque on a dyno, but no one has actually shown these results.
