Title: Rolling road ?
Post by: cander83 on May 05, 2014, 09:18:28 am
Hi guys bit of a random post . Had my edition30 on rolling road a few weeks back . Car made 278Bhp with just a stage 1 map . At first I thought this was not bad . The operator also said as it was a downpour outside the car was wheel spinning on the rollers.everyone seems to make 300bhp on these things . What ppl think

Rolling roads are a lottery as each will give slightly different figures and some over read and some under read.

To be honest I would take it with a pinch of salt as long as it’s running right and drives ok… Only the other day I had a friend of a friend with an Ashtray VXR telling me our local one was rubbish, as his made little over 300 but at Regal similar spec cars where making 360 ish!

Yeah car drives great . In the real world I'd prob find it hard to tell diff between 278 and 300 . It was AG motorsport in Kolkata
kilmarnock

If you are 278 on AG's rollers then you are doing well. I have seen a new turbo mini put out 120bhp on AG's rollers, a 1.8t leon with BT, tubular manifold and water meth put out 290 and a "550bhp" subaru put out 390. I'm sure you have nothing to worry about.
