higher octane, mild compression increase, timing advanced. I can see 3/4 car difference no problem.
Youre right... there is a difference, keeping in mine that you use high grade fuel.
Cause if you don't, you will notice a flat spot at about 4,000 to 5,000rpm.

how do you get those readings onto the compuer? from a regular g-tech? I didn't know those were so informative.
perhaps some of the 32 pounds between US and EU cars comes in the form of bumper reinforcements and stuff due to US's safety requirements. All that 5-MPH zone bumpers and crush zones.
Maybe something to do with a thicker firewall? Perhaps a thicker rollbar to prevent occupant crushing since Americans are fatter than Europeans and Asians.
