Good going Edd. Allan is an acquired taste but does know a lot about cars and engines. Im glad it is running good. I think he doesn't do drive train losses because it cannot be accurately measured throughout the RPM range by a dyno. Wheel horsepower is all that's needed anyway. I don't know how many rolling roads you have been to but that one is really pretty special when you look at the setup. Probably one of the longest running ones in Scotland if not the UK.

Yerp, Allan is a good bloke with a cracking stet up,
was strange having her doing 60mph in 3rd gear only a few inches away

I think he was quite surprised to see the figures with the age and miles on the engine, she's only had a 'mild tune' so a different cam should make a difference as max power is only at 5tho rpm.

The printer wasn't working so any chance you could pick up the print out next time your down there Martin ?
