Christian is the calculation on the DD done on the ramp down after the throttle is let off , in that case could something like a binding brake caliper on a car that has been lying up for winter cause faulty readings.

one of my dyno runs in plymouth on a T34.48 made 459bhp

and oddly in similar fashion to youra my mate in a stage 3 esc cos made 338 before me,

it was down to loss of traction imo, 36psi and it was trying to get out of the rollers

but hey i won best power of the day
