    That is awesome if you have a F40 in Ibiza, i come visit every year and rent a fun car. Maybe we can meet up this summer and go for a drive. Look forward to the interview!

    I presume its your car that is sometimes parked down in Botafoch - I've only ever seen it from a distance?

    Knowing Ibiza well, in fact there in 10 days or so, do you not find it a little too much car for those roads?

    Do you have new ECUs fitted producing 518 hp? Why? Does not you car produced that power yet?

    in reality is more complicate, the originals ecus, has been changed and install a new ecu with this ecu in the power bank we arrived easy to 518 hp, probably we can wind more but this car 1202 kg full with driver, 518 hp is sufficient to play......
    yo can visit a post about the modification of my car and see the pictures from the new ecu.
    the fonction of the engine is perfect, with more torque and more power......but expensive......
    I keep all of originals parts, because in the future can be possible to back to 100% original car, my idea was to instal and ABS and ASR, and now the car is perfect I can play fast with absolute more control, with the possibility to put off and back to the crazy original car....

    Very interesting. The only think to say is that I have recently dynoed my car. My result was 534 hp with just the Tubi Sport fitted and I was running gas not properly desired for our engines(i/e I was running with stock ECUs).. what year is you car?

    Francisco's car produced 518 whp after the mods and 457 whp before the mods. See dyno plots here:

    http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/143761484-post75.html

    Unless your 534 hp result is wheel hp, I would say his 457 whp baseline is right at the same level as your car with stock ECUs if you assume 15% transmission losses.

    Uh OK, I do not get it was WHP. Sure, we are talking about same baseline. For what I saw, losses are calculated in the chart yet, aren't? (there are the % of loss just at the side of the hp peak-RPMs..
