That,s a good output and a useful reference point for owners who want to see if thier car is performing as it should . if you don't mind me asking what does it cost.

Just the HP run and fuel mixture... it was £40, a bit of fun watching others too... quite a good social thing to do, get a few people together... Surrey Rolling Road, on a Saturday. Mine is standard apart from an RPI exhaust, and it's got 78k miles on it. The engine is serviced more often than i probably needs to be and has new plugs and turbo blow off valves this year, with a load of air leaks fixed... it has love given to it

How loud is your exhaust?

Mine always seems stronger than my old Alpina which was around 320-340bhp. Not too sure how it compares with the TVR Tuscan as it’s just so much more planted you can use more of the performance. 3200s are fast cars though :)

I had a 4.0 Mk1 Tuscan prior to getting the 3200 AC. I would say the 3200 was just as quick, but difficult to tell as the power delivery was totally different. It was definitely more fun than the Tuscan, which I found too easy to drive if that makes sense, but I had it after a 4.2 Cerbera which I loved, it was a very seat of your pants drive!

It’s strange how we can have different views on the same cars. Mine was a mk1 4.0 and I found it really hard to drive, maybe it was the Nitrons a previous owner fitted.

I fancy a session on the RR, be nice to get a few of us there 3200, 4200, and GS there as well for a comparison.

I had my 335d on the rollers a few weeks ago after a bit of a tweek. Certainly feel the difference this time around, unlike when I did the same with my GT-S

It was a little flat at motorway speeds, but now the pick up from 50 mph onwards to infinity and beyond is pretty impressive. 0-60 now achieved in under 4 seconds too, regardless of whether it's wet or dry!

Yep, I'm pleased with it.

Parece que Ferrari realmente minimizó el HP del 3220 cuando se lanzó para salvar la cara en el miserable 390bhp del 360 más caro en ese momento

Very good

Has any one had a 4200 /GS re maped or tweeked . Is it worth it ? is there actually anything that they can change ? Mine seems a bit flat in places sometimes .

From what we have seen, remapping does give a circa 50hp gain but in real terms makes sod all difference.

On a 3200 it might make a difference as its a turbo controlled unit.

What was possible on the last round of (group buy) remaps was to lift the rev limiter 250 or 500 rpm as the engine will easily take it, I believe Benny had his removed altogether :D

Really...
12.5% gain , in tuning terms, is pretty big tbh ! :thumb:

No. Don't believe any claim that big on a normally aspirated engine with no other mods.
There is a very good YouTube video on the drive channel about chip tunning.
