I have been there before but there seemed to be complaints about cars not getting the right figures ?? I made over 100bhp more than a type 25 as it only made 320 bhp

Thanks Steve, ihave done a few RR's on old remapped TT with varying results +/- 10-15 % in some cases, Iknow they can be a lottery,

Did the staff seem generally competant ?

i had my car mapped by chris todd at torque of the devil in november.
it made 358/311



about a month ago i was at surrey rolling road and made 362/318



now it was colder when i went to surrey rolling road so could explain the tiny difference. and it is tiny.

i think this proves just how accurate both rollers are

I have been on their rr twice. I have nothing to compare the RR to so cant comment on accuracy.

However the first time I went there I did not get the figures I expected and they went out of their way to help. Good set of lads.

Went to a rolling road day there.

General consensus on the day was that the figures were quite conservative and probably therefore closer to the truth than most dyno's

My GTR was about 20bhp down from a previous dyno run as was a friends Monte.

Seemed like a good bunch of guys

Just noticed (well according to postcode/local live) they seem to be literally a stone's throw from Power Engineering, they are not the same thing are they

I was told from people who weren't happy with their results that if they drove to power engineering the figures would be right

They are both Dyno dynamics rollers so should be similar, DD rollers are also meant to be the most accurate aren't they.

Saying that when I took mine it showed up under the the "book" power by 15bhp they reckoned that if I took it elsewhere (non DD) it would probably make the extra 15 up !!!

.... failing that just pump up the tires a bit !!
