On the road you are getting actual driving conditions but the rollers do have there advantage which some else will post up

I will repeat what i have previously said,a rolling road is a diagnostic tool you cannot replicate the road.I recommend dyno for a brand new specced engine,a rolling road for a common spec engine build to get a base map in,then a day at Brunters or wherever for a full incar live tweak.

You obviously haven't seen AVAs rolling road set up then . It can do proper "brake" horse power runs .
