465ps 484nm I had it done earlier this year it's probably still on the their Facebook gallery if you want to have a look at the graph buddy. I really like the gearbox map as the extra revs see you slightly up the rev range on each gear change. The multi stage launch control was good but I sometimes would over stage the pedal so we went back to a single stage and dropped the rev limit from the standard. It made it much better on the car yet still pulls well. Currently set at 4000 but gonna tweak it again to 4400. It had the stage 2 engine remap along with a carbon clean and has a custom exhaust (not including downpipes).

I don't think the shifts are faster it just holds for an extra 250 revs or so which means that little bit more pull each gear. It's difficult to tell how much a difference that makes on its own as I had everything done as the same time. What I will say is that on its initial run the car made 401, after warming up some more it made 422, with the stage 2 it went to 430, then with the carbon clean and gearbox map finished at 465 (all PS figures)

May be doing the cats soon and tempted to decat to see what difference that makes. Will have to get valves fitted again if I go down that route though.

That's because the C7 uses a single clutch ZF slush-box, not a double-clutch S-Tronic/DSG.

Back to the topic, I still don't understand why anybody would want to bounce their revs off the limiter through a corner. It's lazy, and quite frankly poor driving! Gear change to a suitable gear for the corner then feather the throttle accordingly.
It's not a single clutch
It's a slushbox as you said

The ZF will bounce on the limiter, even in my piss and slippers V6 oil burner

Anyway I think we are digressing, no one wants to bounce off the limiter, but the point of it is that Manual mode means full control. That I like.

My first b8 made exactly 444ps at 8k miles, and my current made 424, but guy at RR said to expect 20ps loss due to winter tyres sticking to rollers

Mine came out low, however it was one run, Doug said it can take up to 10 runs to get the figures up
However it's the same engine as the b7 with just a small difference in breathing, so why would it be a different story?
