Hi Tidgy. See my 'Plus Profile'. Graph supplied from Bob Rawle and was the most conservative of three runs.

Did you view the graph? I really don't think a man of Mr Rawle's reputation would give 'over optimistic' graphs and figures. I believe the system used is called Delta Dash and I am sure others would vouch for its accuracy.

lol, think you'll find its the other way round, delta dash always gives high readings, 300+ ftlb out of a td04 would be pushing the limits for sure

delta dash produces wheel figures.

Bob has his own spreadsheet that guestimates these back to flywheel figures, but I have always found his formula optimistic. Using his formula on my delta dash results, mine is 567bhp

and I know it isnt.

I'm guessing its disbelief based on experience.
Half an effort at decat and a simple filter will generally net you about 250bhp/235ftlbs.
No way near 280bhp and even more torque again.

Its not bourne out of deception I dont believe, just misinformation and blind belief.

Hmmmm, very interesting! I am not taking it personally (Tidgy). It's nice to get such an experienced members opinion. I was only relaying what I was told from the horses mouth (sorry Bob not calling you a horse) and of course the graph backs this up. I suppose the most important thing is that it pulls much better and is totally transformed. Would a RR have given a better indication of Bhp/Torque? I was under the impression these were not very accurate.

normally a bit higher than that, average seems to be around 260bhp 260ftlb, mine was 258bhp, but 280ftlb.



also don't worry about getting to huing up on figures either, having a mahoosive amount of power means nothing on a RR/guestimate. its how it drives thats important
