I wish I had a rolling road.

I'd just ask them what they expect to get, and make sure they get it.

I have generally found that STi PPP's make about 265hp on our Dyno Dynamics rolling road....Good hike in torque though...Makes it look like they are giving you torque to fool you into thinking you have horsepower....lol

STi PPP 265bhp? I don't think you've got that right, the standard (newage) STi puts out 265bhp. PPP should add roughly 35-45bhp on top.

Edit: p.s. Torque is King

spoke to a few garages regarding this and they assure me on a dyno dynamics sti ppp's range from 285-295

as regards 265 on a sti ppp, a standard sti is suppose to have that.

i cant see subaru getting it wrong can u??

im sure they have accurate rollers??

My car and my mates both registered 256/7 bhp without PPP but with exhaust and air filter (cat back). I would be peed off to spend £2k to get an extra 10bhp !!

Depends on the accuracy of the driveline loss compensation, its far far far from accurate in some cases (having taken engines off dyno's and put them in cars on Chassis dyno's).......

Some people will question, some figures from Prosport, because some of the results are unrealistic for the parts fitted, and would not be replicated on a rolling road such as a Dyno Dynamics.

This doesn't mean that ALL the figures are inaccurate, just that some are questionable.

My personal experience of Prosport, is that they needed to get the rollers re-nurled to prevent tire spin on the more powerful cars, but that was some time ago.

Les McKeown was heard the other day remarking that the time was ripe for a comeback.
