Yeah, Ryan K's was mapped to over 280bhp on Standard ECU at RSTuning, so I would imagine it is elsewhere too.
Was going to say the same...
Also, is the GEN90 even type approved for FBW on road applications? Because from the original thread where it was announced and someone asked, it seems the quesion was skipped past and not answered...

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project

One of the jobs on my to-do list was to paint/powdercoat the most recent seam welded subframe. After I welded up the first one and had it powdercoated, then realised it was bent and would not fit the car I got another one from Northy.
