If I am not mistaken the NB8B Vs NB8C myth was laid to rest

Considering our cars are similar in basic spec (NA8 Clubmans with similar kms) that gives around 6.7kw for the CAI and exhaust combo (since my stock car got 66.9kw) - or about a 10% improvement.
Not too bad just for helping the engine breathe a bit better.

I wonder what extractors would add to that?
When's the next dyno day?

Didn't R.D's NA8 make similar power to Fuzzlets? It's a 95, but stock... how does that work?

No idea.

Fuzzlet's and mine are both on about 190,000kms - maybe they're just more worn out. I think Fuzzlet was considering a rebuild so maybe we can see what difference that makes.

I never dyno'ed the old 1.6. It's one of the reasons I've kept the NA8 stock up to now - so that I can a more objective idea of what the various mods are doing.
