Hello,had my first rolling road session yesterday[Mon].The initial run showed 263bhp at the wheels and after a fair bit of fettling the last run was 281bhp.Is this what you would expect for a standard 500 Griff? Regards,Dave.{see you all at the Growl].

Thats normallt regarded as very healthy numbers for a 500.Roling roads will vary with the figures if given the same car,so a little leeway is to be expected.The most often quoted figure for a std 500 is 270ish.Where did you have yours done?

Are you sure thats an 'at the back wheels' figure, I thought most 500's where 265-275 flywheel figure!

mrcosmos - where dod you have this done and what fettling did they do? I want to get mine on a rolling road, but have been told that the standard ECU is very difficult to adjust, so most people go for an aftermarket jobbie from someone like Austec.

Cheers,

Alex

No probs mate

Dont forget there will be a RR at the Growl so it would be a great chance to see your car on the same day up against others, on the same rollers. It would give a like for like refernce point to you provided there were others in the same state of mod/unmod-idity (?)
