Hi,
I have a Punto 60S 1242cc (8v). I am loking at putting a K&N 57i induction
kit in the car! It currently has 60BHP, how much do you rekon this will
increase my BHP; i want an accurate measure to tell my insurance company,
inorder to re-calculate my premium! [i dont want to waste money taking the
car to a rolling road.]
I obvioulsy dont want o overestimate and cause a larger premium,

Thanking you in davance,
Ben Nealon

And probably only 0.5 bhp.

But i WILL increase drivability, as the engine now will breathe more freely
and thus feel more "alive" :-)

Those two does not correspond.
You can ONLY get an accurate measure is you test it on rolling road, and
compares before/after KN.

i think a K&N kit on a punto 60 is silly, if you want some extra power get one of those bolt on turbos for a cinq sport.
