I have a BWR equipped 05 Elise. It is absolutely a totally different driving car now. There is power everywhere. When the second cam comes in @ 5800, the trip to 8K in first and sceond is all most too quick. I have the stock shifter. What has surprised me the most is how much happier the engine seems now. It idles a lot smoother, gets almost the same gas mileage and is so much more fun to drive. I have not dynoed the car, but I believe the engine is now a little over 250 hp. Maybe I should test drive the factory SC to compare. I have almost 18K total miles but only 1K SCed. No problems so far. I purchased it used with 13.5K on it.
