To be honest i just leave them as stock and use it to measure repeatability. To me it doesn't matter what number it put on the power or torque. it matters if its consistent so you can see if you make any changes wheather its better or worse. If you want a number on it you'll be much better spending Ł50 or whatever on a dyno session.

A word of caution with RS2, power measurements are easiest taken on a straight where the RPM goes up high, but the speed you carry on to the straight, traffic etc can adversely affect the readings RS2 will give you.
