Compare these two. I know they are very different power, but what I'm trying to say is that, by definition, a power graph climbs.

The one below yours is Billys (he is on this forum), I don't remember his spec on that day, it was 3 years ago, but I'm trying to say that if the power is level or climbing, the torque will be closer to being flat. His car makes peak power at around 6000rpm, which is what a normal turbo'd car should do. We had NOTHING to do with the tuning of that car, before you think I'm trying to blow my own trumpet. We just ran it on that day.

As for me paying your costs, there is no way on gods earth would I do that. Why would I want to?

EP, you run and big power cars yet? Your DD install is in the ground, isn't it? I couldn't see how you strap these cars down? Do you use the traction bar?

My car on std cams peaked bhp power at 6430rpm, consistently time and time again, torque peaked at almost exactly 4500rpm, my power when peaked only lost 22bhp over the next 1000rpm, so was pretty flat, no drop off, on a T3, std cams, just usuall exhaust/filter etc.
As a T3/34 looked almost the same as well, peaking at 6600rpm.
I prefer rollers with inertia, that cam measure run down losses, on rollers that re regripped often and calibrated, manually with weights/measures once a month.
I am not bothered at all with power ONLY consistency, in a temp controlled cell, ALL without 1 single exception of cars run run with the rpm counter connected, think dave even did that with the m/bike he had on the rollers!!
I had a reading 30bhp higher on a different set of rollers, but no faith in the readings or the operator so only use emerald.
I agree with christian on this totally, for the reasosn he's given, he can come across as arrogant, but he's not really, he us quite knowledgeable, as is gaybird who can come across even worse but isn't.

Ash isnt a customer of ours he just came for our rr day and was one of 20 something cars that all run fine,we havnt checked anything on hes car just gave it two quick runs wich were identical,we all said fucking hell thats mad,i then said your turbo wont last long at that boost and its now started smoking but it was very strong but peaked and tailed very quick,it didnt slip in any way so what can i say??
Iv already said the rpm scale is probably wrong but dont think any shit should come our way for just giving someone a free run??
It was by far the best t3 pull of the day and had an awesome afr and a mad spike of boost so i gave it car of the day, i didnt study the graph as i felt no need too...

i wasnt questioning its accuracy danny i just havnt ever seen a plot that looked like that. if its peaking 2.2 bar and dropping rapidly to 1.4 then i guess it would tail off dramatically as the boost dropped that much.

No mate wasnt really directing it at you just dont understand why some people have to say things,all we did is run it and yes like you just said it was like a boost spike from a restricted turbo and gave a very similar graph to one..
We cant help how it turns out but thats how it did...

Ah! another im great your shite thread on PF. Your being rather pompous Christian & im a supporter of yours. Your a new boy at this lark so you would do well to keep quiet & just do your job & not knock others doing theirs, it does not make you look good. Your indirectly knocking your own system by saying an Operator of Dannys ability cant operate a set of Rollers you say are easy & repeatable. Your tactics are strange to say the least.
