I hate backing Dingy, but I remember Ade making 440atf on a R-R & the operator said maybe your Tuner didnt fit the bits you payed for. Ade had run 185.5 mph a few days before proving he had 540+ horses & the R-R figures were a pile of shite, probably the same with Dingy.
Judging by peoples reaction to his car hes lost no horsepower just the R-R had a bad day.

DD has 2 rollers, but the rear roller is just an idler. Under load the car intentionally climbs up onto the front roller.

Just out of interest Steve, was there as much difference in the ATW figures between the nobles run and yesterdays as there was between the calculated flywheel figures?

Theres too many posts about you and your car to go searching them all
