So basically ignore the thread title and the question the OP asked about what mods were made to obtain the "claimed" 406hp :grin:

Capristo quote 348hp for the fitment of their complete exhaust, which means DMS are claiming their remap is worth 58hp :hand:

The 3.4 engine is severely asphyxiated by the factory, not only in the exhaust, but also on the induction side (both physically and electronically)

The exhaust has been nicely freed up with the fitment of the complete Capristo system, but the physical aspects of the induction haven't (and the jury is out as to whether DMS have cracked the electrical restrictions that limit the engine producing the power it's capable of) and on that basis, their remap will have been nothing more than an optimisation of the fuel and ignition maps to take account of the improved breathing afforded by the exhaust.

Taking that into account, I suspect this car has closer to 365-370hp, which is along way short of the 406hp claimed by the vendor and DMS ...

But the car is indeed a very well specc'ed example, and with some further investment in the engine tuning department, it would make a great cut-price 981 Spyder alternative :)
