Given the amount of control a Motec ecu gives you I think the answer could possibly be yes to both ... but not at the same time.

More seriously, what you get from a Motec will depend to a great extent on what mods you have to your car, and who you choose to do the mapping.

Looking at that list I guess you have already had the car remapped, and maybe already have a replacement ECU. If not then I think it's safe to say yes you would definitely get more power.

Nice!

Torque figure?

Is that a Rolling road figure, or a delta dash reading? any graphs you can post Scott?
