That sounds like a load of gentleman's sausage then! :evil: what did the hypertech guys say to explain it? Doesn't help their reputation, especially when there's something so obviously wrong as the revs not being right!!!


BTW, the car does sound awesome :twisted:

:? Why were they testing with the headlights on?

The graph says flywheel bhp/torque, so by this then the type S's were losing nearly 50bhp. I'd be gutted at that if the results were at all accurate.............. :oops:

Mm...I'd be pretty annoyed at all those results. What gear was he in? Just doesn't add up. I've heard some dyno's reading low but that just takes the P!$S!

That is what I thought too but it is deffo at the flywheel. TBH I am not bothered what the actual number was, like a said above, I got a good result in comparison with the other cars there.

We didn't get our sheets until the end. They said that is what their dyno reads at which I suppose is fair enough. If that is what it says that is what it says.

I am going to try and get it on a Maha as that is what Dino last dyno'd it on.

I want to go on another dyno before I get a new exhaust and get the ECU re-tuned. There is still more power to be extracted from the engine as apparently there is a conservative (daily drive) tune on the ECU.
