The McLaren 540C 3.8 V8 540hp is a 3.8L naturally aspirated petrol engine producing 540 BHP and 540 Nm from the factory. With a typical Stage 1 remap, output increases to approximately 620 BHP and 680 Nm — a gain of around 80 BHP (15%) and 140 Nm (26%).
This engine has moderate remap suitability, with gains weighted towards torque — you will notice the difference most strongly in mid-range pulling power and in-gear acceleration. The tuning headroom is classified as high, based on the percentage gain available from the factory output.
Considerations: Naturally aspirated engine: gains are usually limited; results vary widely.. High tuned torque: check transmission torque capacity and service history.. Large torque increase: drivetrain condition (clutch/gearbox) becomes more important at this level.
