I'm here at last, I am rather pleased with the results, I managed 316.2Bhp and 282.9lb/ft torque. Torque is a bit down on what it should be but that seems to be the trend at present. The last time on the rollers I managed 310.5Bhp and 293.2lb/ft torque. i will try to scan and post up the graphs tomorrow.

Nice one, well done. I saw the figures on Scoobycity.

It's interesting that your torque is down from last time which in turn is down a little for the published figures.

It'll be good to see the graphs.

Nice one Iceman.
Torque still down but I suppose this supports what Mike Wood has said about reproducing the factory figures on a rolling road. Surely with the pattern which has developed, the cars are pretty close together, there must be a way of getting figures closer to those Prodrive claim and the cars aren't ''faulty''.

Better figures,

Notice that results are at a lot lower revs than the ones last week,
whereas some last week were 1200 revs higher both for bhp and torque.

Boost curve is interesting...

Is there better cooling on the rolling road now?

Thanks for posting the graphs up Brian, I thought they may provide some interesting debate.
