Storm Rolling Road Results + pics - 56k no no

Nice little write up and good pics there. I must admit though that i have to agree that those figures seem a little bit on the very generous side. Are we to believe that Len has gained 20+bhp since we did the RR at WRC 18 months ago. Unless those two reflectors on his back bumper really do give an extra 10bhp each !

I must admit I am a little sceptical. I mean I know the exhaust made a difference to the power and torque, but it dont feel that much!
There is however a big difference in the power curve, in that it is now a straight line to a very narrow rev range. Basically over two runs that were almost identical the peak power was at 5810 to 5840.
Whereas the last time there was a curve where the power fluctuated 2 or 3 bhp over 500 revs.

So there is a dramatic difference.

What is happening now is the standard chip is doing what a "superchip" would do. This only happens apparently with the ABF engine fitted with the later chip.



Oh the reflectors have always been there! Well since I fitted the blue rear clusters, which was nearly 4 years ago! Before I knew you lot!

Did seem a little to good to be true, the Rallye was not allowed to play as no 4WD and they would not allow the Tuscan on. Shame really. The one at WRC was state of the art and as he said there is no disputing the figures on that rolling road.

I was not convinced but I must say the guys down there were top lads and very knowledgeable. I just love the 3.2 MK2 conversion!

Aye, that did stick out for me too from the pics, looked quality.

There were two there, one supercharged and one not.

If I get chance I'll probably go to one of those Reading sessions and see what I get there.

The one with the Rotrex blower looked the nads! They can Rotrex the G60 for a bigger increase! ...............................................................

Well this is it, the explaination they gave me was plausible.

Len, if you have any douts about your BHP, Blokie has arranged a rolling road in salisbury on 14th April if you wish to attend?

I was thinking of doing something with my golf and see the difference , But im scared the BHP will go down!!!!!

Well im sure the results were 10% generous, but is my pic anyway.
