Chris`I Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 BHP is a direct calculation from the torque figure so in theory you can't have more of one without the other. Acutally you can. If you have the same torque but a higher rev limit, then you will make more BHP. This is why everyone tries to ram home its the area under the graph that matters in real life (usable power/torque) rather than the top end figure. You could conceivably make an extra 10HP purely by raising your rev limit The big issue here is that the OP has already had mods done and had the car mapped prior to fitting more parts. As Adam says you have to be very selective over picking parts that not only work but also work together. Get rid of the pop charger and dyno again and you'll likely make another 5-10HP.

Best reply I have read , dont get held up on top end BHP level with these cars, the mods and tuning will make the cars so much stronger mid range and thats where we drive them mostly.
