im still not entirely sure how the Fly power is calculated to be honest, as every other rolling road ive seen/been to has let the car run down to calulate it (so they say) and say its better to do it in 4th as that the closest gear to a 1:1 ratio for more accuracy.
Maybe you could do a short write up of how you guys calculate it?A 27bhp sounds about the normal loss, and power will be lower than it would on the road because of the ambient temps, hot engine temps, i bet all your fans were on and blowing hot air in the air filters, and not a lot of air flow over the intercooler to reduce the charge temps

I think it would be an idea that if you do another one, go to a different place!
Nothing against that place but this way if people get the same and havent changed anything - they cant complain the rollers were out!
Zetec kicking in y0!
hes the only bloke i use though so i aint movin it ut if anyone else wants to organise anything then i dont mind at alland ill be in my new car too next time
I wouldnt argue the rollers were out tbh. Mine made what it should so trust they are right, Just an idea to stop people saying they arent accurate.
Will prob even be going back there when i get my car remapped.

there will be another soon so keep your eyes peeled peeps, looking at doing it early october, will be a diffrent place though. james i think it will be good to go back there after doing a few bits it was a good day.
ill still come along to the other one too but dunno if gun run the new car on it lol
I got 158.4 BHP I'm happy with that considering ive not spent all that much however i would have like to seen 170bhp

gt figures were low on the day but the diffrences between them were normal, seb 2's were only 12bhp apart and the only full seb4 was about 20bhp over the seb2's.
would the size of wheels effect the transmission loss?
