Post New to a Rolling Road

I need to get my Car on a rolling Road, and will be booking myself with Engine Advantages for a Power Run.

1st time going to one, and have been told that the run will be done in 4th gear.

How does the roling road actaully work to get the figures out..?

Any info appriciated...

they calculate the air temp, what sandwiches the operator has got, divided by the likelihood of his next ****.
all squared gives you an RR figure

alternatively, they may (iirc) run the car to the redline in fourth, dump the clutch and let it slow down, the two figures then combine to give you power at the crank.

its noisey and not the most amount of fun when they run your car.

have you a commander unit? if so pm me
