that was just an acceleration run...
I.E the car was not held at each rev point and the power recorded.
IMO for the power to be taken as accurate the revs need to held constant with the roller speed for a few seconds to eliminate wheels spin and let the figure stabilise.

i have never seen a power done as
"rapidcossie" states loaded!
every rolling road i have been to has done accelerations runs and record the power that way the only time i have seen the operator hold the car at certain rpm is when mapping a car!

yeah i know, mates ibiza did that and got 20bhp or so extra.
ive got about 7 runs in total on the car from that day all over 420bhp, judging from the graph, there is no wheel spin to make 442bhp as its quite smooth
