Sorry for my incorrect grammar I wrote the original quote after a few beers last night!

As far as tick tick boom goes what does that mean?
Well 239HP is just a number, as I said before all dyno's are different. One you will make 240HP, the next 258HP, the next 232HP, etc.

I have seen a VE Maloo make little over 250KW with a tune and exhaust, and he had the dyno sheet from another shop which said 270KW.

Also consider you had your car tuned in summer... that won't help numbers either, the higher ambient air temp kills HP and doesn't help with heatsoak.

You need to hit the drags and see what ET and MPH you get. This is a real measure of performance.
