I would say you have nearer 320-330 at that boost level!

Boost Junkie
my last graph was @ pts for 343bhp and 349lbsft on a T34, with greens and as far as i know @22psi.
ive got the graph
greens are there
T34 is there

Northampton have one of the most unforgiving sets of rollers in the country.... they do know their shit about carbs and Weber Alpha though.

Yeah, they are well known with the old skool lot for reading pretty low, eg. my Capri with a road rally cam, stage 1 head and standard carb made all of 84 at the wheels (about 115 fly) and a 2.0 Zetec powered kitcar on 45s was making 155 BHP fly whilst I was there - most places quote over 170 for this conversion....
They do however know what they are doing and are a decent bunch of blokes.
