I wouldnt believe any Dyno that gives 163bhp! Mine has been on 5 different rollers and baring that stupid Storm one (173 bhp!) the rest have been consistantly around the 150 -156 range.

Hmm, well I might get it put on another localish one and see. Several of the other people have had theirs Dyno'd a few times and the Dyno that I had mine on gave them pretty much the same results...

Ah yes Storm's very expensive random number generator.

That says it all Dec! proves that it consistantly gives high results!

having been on JKM's that last 2 times if anything I think that one gives low figures, pretty accurate but on the low side.

What so them getting consistant results over a few different ones including the one mine went on proves it's high :S not really..

Dec mate it is definitely high! Trust me! There is NO WAY your car is putting out 163 bhp!
Meet me half way and we'll see which is faster! My 154.7 bhp or your "163.6 bhp"  :rolleyes:

Stealth and AMD are also notoriously high!

It matches my mates standard Low mileage VR6. Would happily meet you halfway if I was still insured to drive it.

Why waste your money just to be in receipt of a number.  :rolleyes:  that won't make your car go any faster. Dynos are only usefull if you are setting the cam timing with a vernier and the ign timing etc. to get maximum power.

Mind had been recently set up so was handy to know if it helped at all, except there was no before reading lol

RR results need to be taken with a pinch of salt! I remember I had my mk2 valver tuned up on the rollers at stealth and it did 178bhp. Went back the next weekend as part of a clubgti weekend (and it had only covered an extra 75 miles in that time) and it came out at 167bhp! You can't lose 11bhp in a week - but you certianly gain it on the rollers if your a paying customer :laugh:
