There are plenty of options out there, but I doubt I'll be getting it mapped with the cat fitted...<br /><br />I'm pretty confident that the motor in it's current form won't make 263bhp as all the 'mappers' I've spoken with have suggested Caterham were optimistic to say the least with the 263bhp figure with most cars only outputting 250bhp, so for mine to have 255.1bhp is very good and testament to a well run in engine.Daniel Frenchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00100901014267012758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772412540056492521.post-56938103805251671092015-09-28T22:22:15.041+01:002015-09-28T22:22:15.041+01:00Just a thought, would it be worth doing a dyne run...Just a thought, would it be worth doing a dyne run with your cat in place. It is needed for competition and its something very worthwhile doing if you might want to do hillclimbs and sprints at a later date. I would be interested in the results as I currently compete with a k-series caterham and I have always wanted a R500.<br /><br />Like your weight figures, can the caterham make 263bhp with a cat in place, caterham suggest it should?
