BHP and rolling roads

[SILICONEKID345HP]

Had a good day at the "Griff Growl" so thought I would stick on the rollers.

It managed 315hp and 355 ft lb..

Have I got to change my name or does it under read

[phazed]

That RR always reads low..

Iirc mine read 330-340 bhp.

[SILICONEKID345HP]

What does it read on other rolling roads?

Is 355ftlb a good figure ?

[QBee]

Sorry Daz, but that's total shame.......



No better than mine

Just as I thought Anthony, Daz original figures are complete tosh

I watched Daz car on the rollers, kin ell it hurts the poor things,
Listening to it I'm surprised it produced these figures
Hi Daz, really good to see you today bud,

355ft lb,,, bit flat isn't it Dazza

That's a very nice torque curve, starts low down with good power,
Good BHP, it's a good engine that mate

[QBee]

Thank you Alun.

Just for the record, when you met up with Daz, who paused for breath first?

[ClassiChimi]

I couldn't get a word in edge ways man

I wonder if another two air filters might help

To a man, I think she sounded great on the road Daz, roar and full of power, did you have any other read outs from the Griffs to compare Daz ?

300hp from a 5.4 ,Think it broke him

[QBee]

I'm only here for the craic.....

[Pupp]

What Daz hasn't posted is the print showing the fuelling trace - absolutely spot on right through; very impressive.

Might have video clip of the second pull :-)

st!

This rolling road lark, it's just not good enough, there's no calibration system these things can and should be matched up to,
You just don't know what to believe.
Saying that I've never believed your 345 bhp either, but then I watched your video and how it spins from tickover upto high revs in 1/2 a second,, very impressive,

It did look more like your attemp to get the job on top gear mind

Thing is you know when an engines fast by driving it, the numbers don't always tell the full story but driving it will.

Your drag times make a simple and obvious point Daz

They say the camera never lies!

Sounded impressive Daz

I would say rolling road under reading were it not for Anthony's result. Looks good though

[QBee]

Mine was at Jools'

Daz, and anyone else in the area, there's an alternative Horse Power event at Burghley House tomorrow (Sunday) from 9.30 - 5.00 - 600+ Astons will be present, including the DB10. Weather forecast looks good.

[phazed]

I won't be there!
