I had my totally standard spec c on the rollers today at powerstation and it peaked at 1.3 bar tailing off to 1 bar so id say its pretty normal

It produced 319 bhp corrected to 310.1 and 294 lbft which i thought was very satisfactory for a totally standard car

The pistons aint chocolate on these but you NEED to run it on the best fuel available or have the car remapped for your 95 ron otherwise it will just retard itself down to limp mode! (they are designed to run 100-102 ron fuel).
Power differs, book states 280ps/290lbs of torque, mine ran (on jap spec fuel with a panel filter) 316bhp and 340lbs of torque.

My Spec C turned out 294bhp when it was standard ... just depends where you get the car RR'd. No longer standard though

These Spec C engine's are very strong mine is running well over 400bhp on pump fuel and well over 450bhp on race fuel running 1.6bar peak tailing off to 1.53bar to the redline
