Just having the flaps open is said to add 4+ hp.

Default Okay, let me rephrase......

Of course I would love more power, but, at this overall performance level (as opposed to a lower performance level car), I am not willing to sacrifice drivability and comfort to get it.

Really, for me, it's the angel on one shoulder telling me to be happy with the already amazing car, and the little devil on the other shoulder saying MORE, MORE, MORE. In the end, the devil will probably kick the **** out of the angel, but I'm not there yet.

Default I should have said sport mode. Someone posted a small.............

difference in Dyno plots for sport on and off (I thought + or - 4 or 5hp). It was a long time ago and may have been on RS246.com. Of course it could all be BS.

Default It's BS, there's no difference

Might have been a normal difference between dyno runs. But a WOT all settings for the engine are the same above 5000 rpm, whether or not you are in sport mode.
