You'll feel the difference. I've just gone from standard 215 and whatever torque to 280/310 after a Bob Rawle remap today. You feel it when you put your foot down. For me the boost kick is a little more vigorous but the extra torque carries it through and it's here you feel it. My boost gauge read standard 0.9 bar before, goes off the scale now on a td04 (boost gauge is oem Lamco and 1.3 bar only).

Have a little misfire issue but awaiting Bobs email reply.

It's good fun!!

320bhp in a classic makes it a really nice drive and a good fun car Anything under 300bhp I find boring because the chassis is so good.

What supporting mods did you have to make those figures? They seem pretty decent on a TD04

When were your plugs last changed and what were the gaps set to?

Heat wrapped 3" decat downpipe, 3" resonated catback (2.5" flange on d/p), Green Cotton panel filter, Walbro 255 fuel pump. That's about it I think. Hopefully getting my graph emailed through as confirmation. I was very happy, especially with the torque!

Early October with last service. Standard NGK ones. Couldn't tell you what the gap was as my mechanic did the work. Gonna swap to the pfr7b come March/April service as recommended by Bob. Did not misfire during mapping, just started when coming home in certain circumstances.

Back on topic, I think under 300 is ok if you can use the chassis' potential in the twisties as well as straight powwarrgh

My bet is the gap is too big now and the spark is being blown out, remove the plugs and move the gaps down to .65mm if they are bigger than that. It's just a shame the plugs aren't that easy to get to on a scoob because it's a common occurrence.
