    Hi, like Nem said running a safer "street" tune with less timing these days.

    Also slipping on the dyno even with the extra ballast.

    I also think mine (and others) would have returned slightly higher numbers if the air temp sensor was working -not that it matters as all cars were run on a level playing field. But yeah couple of different factors that contribute to the "corrected power level".

    Nothing -gotta be some perks for putting the thing together right? They sent me a couple of pre release copies, I'll throw one in the filing cabinet with all the other car stuff and you're welcome to the other. Can post it to you if you like?

    No one sat in my boot lol, although I'm not so sure it was wheel spin the more I look at the printout as it's VCT territory

    Maybe it didn't need to. LOL It depends on how it is strapped down, (which were the same)camber settings, tyre type, condition, size both in width and profile.

    Yea... that explains a lot. Clearly I should have loaded the arse end of mine down. Explains the pitiful ~230RWKW mine scored. :p

    It only makes a difference on big hp cars, as in over 350rwkw and not necessarily.
