Is that right Ali?
FYI the maps we do are done on the dyno specific to the car. When we mapped your car we didnt have the dyno and had to make do with the road for testing.
I looked at many dyno's including maha but the better choice IMO was the DD. I even upgraded my 2WD to the 4WD with DD. I really was not impresses with the maha and to be quite honest some of the figures you see from them are laughable.
For me and many others maha are just an expensive brand...
Coastdown method for transmission losses can be influenced so easily by the user. Most new dyno's now purchased are DD as they are seen as industry standard for power comparrison and are a good deal cheaer than the Maha and in many cases offer better load holding due to roller traction.
These could be 401's, not sur what spec cat are doing yet but they are the more mild ones i think.
When we dyno'd it with no mapping they made not much more than stock and interestingly made some extra torque low down which is rare for most cams.
Mapping found some horses though :)

Although sticking with DD can usually provide repeatable numbers, a car that dyno'd at sanspeed one month came to a dyno day at mine and made the same WHP and within 1hp calc fly!
The ATW figure is about bang on mate yes, maybe a tad low but the losses they use to cal the fly are too high.
The 197's all mapped now, good results to say the least but i'll let Kev do the rest :)
Unless you are taking the engine out then the fly figures are never EVER 100%.
Repeatable results are however important and i can offer this on our dyno/dyno dynamics in general. Our new dyno has been within 1hp on all the cars we previously dyno'd on the 2WD.
The reason for the test today...
That is very harsh
Here i can totally stand up for Andy, my MRS's car is the same colour as foxy's and quite frankly the tint is a joke!
There are 5 different mixes for this but NONE were correct, a couple were close but clearly not right, In the end he had to keep mixing variations of the...
