A day well spent...and recommendation.

I've just spent the day at ChipWizards in Rochdale letting Wayne Schofield set up my PowerCommander on his rolling road. He spent most of the day on it and covered 130 miles without going anywhere. Wayne spent ages working all the way through the power and rev range to get the fueling right.

The trip home was a bit too congested most of the way but a small detour allowed me to open the gas...OH MY GIDDY AUNT! :0 It took off like a scalded cat...absolutly flys. The difference is awesome. A massive improvement on the road in driveability in the mid range as well.

149 @ wheels and 169 @ flywheel (at Stoneleigh it was 152 @ flywheel)

PS. Can't wait to see Waynes Cappucino BUSA on Lola A1 GP running gear in action.

I run a VW T4 van for which there is a forum, a couple of lads on there did some research on diesel tuning boxes & remaps & found most to be poor in many respects. They worked with Wayne to sort a package that delivers in all areas & have nothing but praise for him, the only trouble being like all folk who are good at what they do you have to wait your turn!

Less than I'd charge for the amount of time spent and the equipment investment!

The best bit is the dip in the power curve (4500-5500rpm) that I've seen on lots of R1 power runs (and a lot of other BECs) and was actually "down hill" on the run done at Stonleigh, is gone. Virtually linear graph now. Makes it very smooth/scary.

Great news. I am expecting to have our 5VY engine maps set in the following two weeks, too in Hungary, and I hope for a similar transformation, too (15 bhp and much better driveability).

Saw the car on the dyno, looks and sounds great! Wayne is probably one of the best in the country and gets the job right.
