We are still working on the tuning on Saturday, but so far I can say that the car is making an easy 241 wheel horsepower and 170 pound feet of torque at the wheels at 7 psi on CA 91 octane pump gas. The car made 252 whp and 182 pound feet of torque on a more agressive 93 octane map. We will be changing a lot of things and monitoring temps, air fuel ratio etc etc. The car wants to make a lot more power but we will keep it nice and conservative. We are making over 145 pound feet of torque at the wheels at 3700 rpm! The car is trying to rip itself off the dyno under high rpm and I fear that the 350 whp package may pop wheelies down the road!
Are you giving any consideration to making a Sport Exige body-kit that might be used on the road? (Or is it the case that asides from making the splitter less deep, simply raising the ride height would make it suitable for road use?)

Yes our kit will be for road use,as will the Alcon brake kit we are finishing up. We just received our new built motor for our car and hope to have 380 whp shortly in our Elise for 2 upcoming magazine shootouts. We will need at least that kind of power to win these events outright as 240whp only gets you so far.
