What's the deal with the dyno if it's rainng on the day?

I assume, wet tyres, wet rollers etc are not a good mix ?
It should be dry, but it really shouldn't matter. Believe it or not, it's supposed to be a bit of fun. rofl
I know, but I'm after a reliable reading before the CAM goes in for comparison, plus it's a long way for me to go if it's going to be a waste of time !
Take some blankets ? hehe

Cold tyres are not an issue on steal rollers so would think water would just fly off any way ?

every DD ends like this biggrin usually 10 pages up to the event, then a page on results, then 800 arguing about the results biggrin

remember that year the rollers were running really low figures (consistent across all the cars) people went mental instead of focussing on the comparable performance compared to the previous run!

buy your next mod because it makes you feel good not because of what power increase you will get as you are now into diminishing returns. Your car over stock will feel massively different, if you did heads and intake it wont feel that much different

if you are on standard gearing you should do the diff, it will give you the best seat of the pants other than going FI but we don't wanna go there!
agree on returns biggrin

I think us NA lads will still show you lot a thing or two, ok headline figures might be lower on the dyno but 500NA is better than 600FI! Its like empty calories FI is
Easy! hehe

Give us a call mate, but seriously, id think about dropping the diff ratio in preference to the laws of diminishing returns of major engine surgery.
Hmmn ratio change = faster acceleration = lower top end (that I don't use) Food for Thought scratchchin
Good upgrade for the money mate wink
