    Ok, vts has catcam 708s, full system and air filter, yet only made 103bhp on a hub dyno!

    Anybody know what the feck could be wrong with it?

    Cams were put into the car before I got it, could they have been put in wrong?

    Any help, cheers

    that figure is presumably at the hubs? It's not crazily out tbh - 110-115 would be about right for an honest dyno.

    Yep was a hub dyno, and yes has cams, just wondering why its so low.

    That rr was without a map, and it was serviced a couple of days ago, new plugs filters etc
