without a dyno figure who knows , but the difference is massive

the map that has been sent has a rough target between 310 and 325 so more than likely

 yes he will do it was just a thought if you were having a go

Appreciate the offer but we know what happened last time I worked on your car but I will have to decline I'm afraid, much potential to get it wrong and I don't fancy experimenting with those kinds of states at the moment :shock:
