Without output at the road it's a bunch of numbers...
Even still, it's a bunch of numbers I wish my car would achieve. :)
Heh. Me too, but part of the point is that flywheel figures are estimated, and estimates of many percent are commonplace.
I have this argument with Ka owners everywhere all the time, who genuinely believe that a stick on air filter, 18" rims wearing arch-rubbing tyres, makes their 59 PS 1.3 into a 75 PS 1.3...
'Course it's not the same here, but I much prefer to see at the road figures...
Something a bit odd - the lines should cross at 5252rpm, but it looks more like 5180rpm. Not exactly a staggering difference, but it doesn't bode well for the calibration, or the meaning of the numbers it produces.
The power figure's in PS. If you convert it to BHP it looks about right.
Twin turbo LS1 in a Granada?
Heh. So, where is the power generally lost between the flywheel and the wheels?
On some of the figures I've seen going on the modifications, between operator optimism and transmission losses.
Do operators assume that fourth gear is a direct drive on a rolling road, as a slight side issue?
Here, shove this up your Ka's exhaust,

That's the one,

I don't have a Ka any more... you mistake what I'm saying heh.
Not a bad time though.
I doubt anyone here has a car that's faster, you wouldn't belive the money my mate Stevie has poured into this thing.
Careful what you hope for! :)
What's it's improvement in seconds versus improvement in cost terms? :)
I managed £250 per second on my Ka...
Sorry, used to be twin turbo Rover V8, now supergharged LS1
Sounds good, any details? links?
I'm sure John ran faster than that in his day.
Arr. So it is. Have a smug-token.
