Rolling road day tomorrow

[Greasemonkey]

Hi guys shes going to be put on the rolling road tomorrow - has anyone ever done this before and what were the results ?
I am thinking she maybe a tad lower BHP than stated because she is 11 years old - But i am hoping for a minimum of 185 anyway -
has anyone any thoughts on holding full throttle on the rollers - never having done it before i am a bit nervious about it - don't want a rod to let go and the like.
any advice welcomed
cheers
Steve

I haven't a clue what you're talking about. It sounds kind of like a dyno with a virtual scene displayed???

If so, CAREFUL. Both front & rear wheels are getting power. If the fronts are on stationary ground, you may enter the scene - literally.

Elvis has LEFT... the building...

He has a JDM he can put it in 2wd.

Elvis appears to be maintaining his position INSIDE the building...

Hi yes JDM - 2wd - 'rolling road' is a dyno test that can measure the Brake Horse Power at the rear or front wheels - is just 2wd tomorrow but they are have a set of 4wd rollers sorted in the near future so it will be fun to see what power is actually at the fronts in TOD - could be interesting as minor tweeks can be measured in output power - things like a conical filer etc

Have fun!
I only ever had one vehicle on the Dyno, my old 66 Pontiac GTO. It was a great tool to see how tweaks resulted in better performance!
Ldub, is that a Meji tryptic woodblock print in your sig?

Hi guys - right big disappointment lol - 167 BHP 210 lbs ft torque - very nice graph though and plenty in reserve - the rolling road techy said it was being choked - when we looked under neath the silencer was glowing cherry red - so it looks like a power flow exhaust - custom made - or a genuine - what do you guys recommend ? the dyno guys loved the VX and wanted to take her away there and then - we chuffed though she did well - you can always improve a low score
