The engine dyno figures I had from the builder showed 419bhp brand new so I guess the drivetrain must be losing 80 ish bhp unless one of the guru's here can explain.Nice figures Ian, its hard to believe (or painful) that the drivetrain soaks up 80bhp tho
Kiwicar where are you?

DD rollers dont generally measure drivetrain losses, and tend to just estimate.
IMO such figures should be ignored anyway. Its whats measured at the wheels that matters on a rolling road. Not guesstimated flywheel figures.
The UK needs to get with the rest of the world on this, and start only using wheel figures.
And the wheel figures are a good result.

It's a Thunder AVS with vacuum operated secondaries so it may not be quite kosher for hardcore racers like yourself but you certainly can have first refusal on it. The EFI is a winter project. Whether it's this winter is probably in the hands of that tosser Gordon Brown
