well ive been told the dyno needs inspecting as the figures are a little over the top 
so not sure what power its making exactly ? anyway it drives nice and smooth but doesnt seem as savage as i was expecting if im honest 
i mean on paper im thrilled with the results but in terms of how the power is delivered a tad dissapointed if im honest , but to be fair i think i may of been expecting too much from it . its lovely to drive and very responsive and thats all that matters really

Yeah but aren't you currently running around with a broken exhaust?! That won't help torque/peak power...
Plus your Bug's at least 1360kg isn't it? (Compared to the heaviest of the Classics @ 1270kg).

360 did seem a bit high on a 34 to be honest buddy.
I've given up quoting power figures for my car, RR's seem to vary so much I think it's pointless quoting a figure unless you have your car dynoed at a few places and then take an average.
The most important thing is ARE YOU HAPPY.... Forget what power the paper says as all that's good for is boasting in the pub. If the car performs well and your happy then that's all that matters.
Glad the mapping all went well after your moment of madness by the way, you won't be doing that again in the future I bet, lol.

Numbers on paper dont mean anything, the way it drives on the road says it all

well now its all fine and its survived i can honestly say i didnt thrash it as bad as some might think ? it really was that one time . but yeah i literally had to walk away and plug my ears when it was being mapped 
they put it through its paces dont they !! poor thing .
im happy at the moment , but thinking of getting a lighter car next already ! i need to accelarate as fast as i can , dont know why ? but its so addictive top speed doesnt interest me .

Some great figures, might have to go for a VF series turbo rather than an 18G in the new year, the figures do seem right for my spec - you must be pleased

Copied from the other thread.
The roller trace is a bit wiggly not sure why - maybe a bit of wheel spin or something. I think that the 360 is a tad optimistic. BUT; the following car that ought to have made 340 made 337 and had a similar trace - a bit wiggly.
So not sure what we'll start again after Xmas looking at the rollers and see if there is something that might explain the wiggles.
Even so a good result for Dave and apart from the exhaust falling to bits the car hasn't apparently suffered from the events earlier this week.

I've heard that cars quite often make higher figures on the road than on a dyno because of traction cold air supply and flow ect.
I agree with the other posters, it's just pub talk. If it drives clean and fast and your happy that's the main thing. Most peeps bullsh** in the pub anyway. You know your cars sweet and pulls like a train. Enjoy it mate. There is always going to be someone faster but plenty not as fast !
I guessed 320/320. i was right on the torque but way off on the BHP. Great results imo.

he didnt like that very much !

I pulled a bit in front of him in 1st, a little more in 2nd then blew his wheels off in 3rd and that was without using launch control and flat foot shifting
