Im amazed that the rolling road operator let you leave thinking this was a good thing, surely he should realise that his rollers arent measuring it in the first place?

Agreed that it looks to be running nicely though, good smooth boost line and the AFR's dont wander around too much etc

Still a moderately quick car by most people's standards im sure mate
hi chip i was just on average working out that everyone looses around 80bhp on 4WD cars so if mine left the factory with 280bhp it should have around 200bhp at the wheels? and matt was refairing to how good my grahp is thus saying the engine is spot on, there was alot of people making big power but afterwards matt would speak to them to say your running lean after 6 rpm and so on but mine was just right , so what your saying is the more bhp you have the more trasmission looses you have? if so why ?

thanks
andy
