Chip, lets just agree you can't get a flywheel power figure from torque measured at the wheels And then give up on this topic

i asked him how its calculated,he replies its not the rolling road /machine etc is taking a reading from the engine

whats that about?

and the fact it was only running 25 psi

and usually is 30 psi i thought the at wheels fig was accurate as it was 373 at wheels on ava a couple of months previous
im sure someone else on here has said dastek made less boost. 5 psi down must be around 50 bhp roughly 10 bhp to 1 psi.
