Rolling Road Results
Discussion
For a bit of fun I have created a centralised resource for recording the results of any and all RR results you may have. This is a totally non-scientific analysis of what certain modifications MAY achieve and in no way should be used to complain to manufacturers/dyno operators.
Please use one line per result, recording what modifications were present at the time of the test.

Good plan.
But no not allow people to enter dyno results from any other dyno than SRR otherwise you sheet will become useless.
Also only accept rwhp numbers from SRR again for the same reason.
Thats my advice
That was why I added the RR column at the end, so that different dynos can be differentiated. Plus, it is a bit unfair to expect people to only go to SRR when it could be quite a trek for them. Will also be a good comparison of dynos if someone runs the same setup at two different ones.But no not allow people to enter dyno results from any other dyno than SRR otherwise you sheet will become useless.

Anyone else have historic runs they can record on here? Added in fwhp as that was all I had for the beemer.
How do you want us to record historic details? I've popped in an extra line, for last year - though you may want to create other pages for it instead? Some here have has previous models, and some are greedy and have more than one at a time.Whilst i agree in principle with you guys regarding same dyno same day etc, in practice keeping all this data in separate sheets then trying to do basic trend analysis over time becomes next to impossible. The beauty of having it all in one place is that then you can analyse the data how you want. For example, after the SSR day, I will provide graphs for just those that run that day.
In fact, according to all your guys logic about same dyno, same day, only my results are valid for comparing anything as the two runs were less than 15 minutes apart and the car did not even leave the rollers, it was just remapped between runs.
The thing is that this is not an exact science due to far too many variables to account for, so lets just see how this goes, and as I said, add extra columns as you see fit to help make the data captured more fit for purpose

That's exactly what a dyno is for. As a bit of fun, it's a good exercise, but you couldn't use it to publish a science paper.This is basically a bragging rights exercise at the end of the day with some useful info on how different mods can affect the cars power output.

In science lack of a control in an experiment would invalidate any result.In fact, according to all your guys logic about same dyno, same day, only my results are valid for comparing anything as the two runs were less than 15 minutes apart and the car did not even leave the rollers, it was just remapped between runs.

It would be interesting to apply that procedure to the dyno graph. I certainly don't have 2 sets of dyno results that are anywhere near the same in my rather extensive collection.
Only reason I'm making this point is because after most dyno days the phones tend to ring at places like Monkfish and Walkys.

there you go, only me and mel on the day with fairly stock cv8's I managed just shy of 300rwhp which for a stock CV8 is pretty damn good!
cheers mate, will try and transfer the numbers into the spreadsheet this evening :cheers:there you go, only me and mel on the day with fairly stock cv8's I managed just shy of 300rwhp which for a stock CV8 is pretty damn good!
