Colin its very difficult to compare AVA wheels figs to DD ones.
from what I can gather any car that has been ran on AVA will see a lower wheel fig to a DD but will probably get a fly fig higher than you might expect.

Thanks for the nice comments guys
I'm still buzzing from the experience even now
As well as Mark Shead's great engine build and mappingI would also like to acknowledge the great work done to the car by JKM Performance in Portsmouth who handled virtually the entire build.Thanks Jim (and Keith) you did me proud!!
ps.The above credit is not an advert,after all we've been through with the Capri they never want to see another old Ford ever again!!!!!!

Correct Rich,GT3076.82
Incidentally the DD rolling road calculated flywheel figure was only 3bhp different to the figure measured on the Norris engine dyno on the same boost.........

Loader,your axle should be fine
Mine survived 170 1/4 mile blasts at well over 300bhp and so far so good with the new engine,with just uprated shafts and a tightened up diff
Actually standard shafts were fine until I fitted sticky track day tyres

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3ZFexeqEaQso this was done on an engine dyno and r/r and made same power ? so this is genuine proof that in your car you have exactly 17 % trans losses proven buy r/r and engine dyno.
