Good figures for just over a bar of boost mate nice one!!
Cars looking sweet!!!
That depends on whether the power@wheels figures compensate for air temp and pressure variables.
What possible explaination could there be for "fannying about with figures" or adding a "fudge factor" to compensate as you put it. Where power is measured @the wheels?
By compensating as you suggest.
The only meaningful figure. Power @wheels would then become a mere guestimate along with projected @fly figs.
So, PAW is the be-all and end-all is it??
Are you not aware of pressure variations according to height above sea-level and runs that take place in different ambient temperature conditions?
Even at AVA's god-given RR, the weather is subject to variation.
not really as ava doesnt move so if situated at the same level all the time plus there fan can be run to show the same ambient temps all year round
if you look at davies past 4 graphs theres only been a 10bhp difference at different times of the year
in summer there fans are pumping out that much cool air your actually feelin cold standing at the entrance,in winter there fans are not needed to do as much hard work,you will get some difference in temps in winter coz of the denser air
anyway rr figures are no good unless the car has been built and tested on the same rr which davies has so all in all he'll be a happy man,its an indication for him as to how well his engine is running and how it compares to other cars been rr one there rollers,and i would say thats good considering some of the allegedly 250-280bhp cars ive seen rr there that dont do what he's doin at the wheels,roll on winter again for the more exagerated bhp figures
also davie runs this boost all year round not just for rr shootouts
