yeah the RR is more likely to be out, most RR's seem to give generous readings to give the customer a great sense of well being :lol:

also by touching the brakes when the car is winding down on the RR will make the peak bhp higher due to incorrect trans. loss

If you want to be really accurate I think your best bet is to take the power at the hubs (Dynapack) and use that as a baseline.

Fair point indeed, so other than tuning on the fly, there aint much point going on a rolling road, power runs aint cheap, especially considering the figure don't really mean much.

Well, they're worth going to just to see the big turbo boys winding each other up :D

They're very useful if there's other cars the same as yours there, as you can do comparisons between cars, i.e. treating the figures as relative not absolute. So if yours is massively down because of a boost leak or something (like Steve says) they are useful in tracking it down.

Useful for seeing what mods make an improvement and those that don't or worse.

mines made 225 at star performances rolling road, on half a tank of normal mixed with half optimax, and then another lcr after me which was APR'd made 250, so if the rr was over exagerated then the other guys was pretty poor for a remapped car. :rolleyes:
