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??
As above it is the only meaningful figure that can be measured with any degree of accuracy from any given Rolling Road. Surely you wouldnt dispute this fact?

I am aware of preassure differentials & variations in ambient air temperature. Again you appear to sujest that they can/should somehow be compensated for? .

Im not sure about the God-given Roling Road, but you are quite correct about the weather, very changable.

Ive had a good chat with Allan with regards the above, If you have any specific questions you want answered or any aspect your unclear of then he is more than happy to comment.

Maybee a 'nice power' 'cars looking well' comment would have been more appropriate, but NO! instead you appear to have a snide dig at AVA. Seriously Christian whats that all about?
