Hi Jamie. If yer cat is f*(KED, then it may well be effecting overall power.. what makes you think you have more torque mid range with a knackered cat m8 ??. by putting on bigger wheels you are applying a larger turning force to the power unit.. there will be a max torque figure that...

Ya dont brun LOL ya work the power at the flywheel from the TORQUE at the wheels, the RR ONLY measures torque.. from torque at the wheels, you can calculate NHP, and then from a process of cosat down testing, you can tell the power lost by the transmission / tyres etc... Joe.

I would think thats about right.. loose the ecotec though.. Joe

a power boost valve (Rising rate reg) will give you a grand total of ZILCH power increase.. a chip.. well, it MAY give you 1-2 bhp mid range that you would never notice.. If you have had cams and engine work, then maybe either could help, but on a std unit.. save yer dosh. Joe

what more can I say.. well said that man! Joe

Hi all, for those going to the RR day, I would be very interested in the mods, if any, you have done to increase power. Please can you post the type of clio, engine size, and what you have changed.. Eg, cams, head, IK, Exhaust etc etc. Joe.. ta. !

Just a note of mild caution the rollers at Bury are spot on accurate. If your car is std, then I very much doubt 130 @ Wheels. if you have played with it - a lot.. then who knows.. a std 172 will give about 130 ish at the wheels. Joe.

Rt.. lol, yes, spose it is twice as quick but..... the horsepower required is NOT twice as much... Joe..

Buy a rolling road m8 .. I will run it for ya... about 35k should sort all the bits.. Joe..
