That does sound healthy.

I'm assuming the figure is 'at the wheels' bhp.

I've heard various conversion factors put forward for flywheel, between 15 and 25% to be added on.

It's on-the-road pull that counts of course, and I'm sure your car won't disappoint there.

I just know that if I put mine on a dyno it would be a let down, and would involve an enormous spending spree shortly thereafter.
Wrong time of the year.

Yep at the hubs so all sorts of figs for transmission losses are bandied about but at least with this system you get an idea of what the car will actually do. Happy with the power curves as the "grunt" is all the way there through the rev range. We capped the rev limiter to 5500 on the run so she may do a bit better. In driving terms she pulls like a train now and sounds nice

Strange Dyno ?

Not seen anything like that before - I suppose it saves having to dig a bloody great hole.

Good result through !!
