I agree mate that it's not all about chasing numbers. But it just seems that JKM seem to be the only RR in the country that I have seen that consistantly give low figures on mapped/tuned cars.. 290bhp terriotory is a reasonable estimate, yeah. But it's not 290bhp, it's 278bhp and if I had payed £500 for 300bhp, that is what I would want, not 22bhp less..
I for one don't really care whether my car RR's at 330bhp or 33bhp as it is what it is and still goes like stink (when I can drive it :grin:). But if I was to put mine on JKM's rollers and it pulled around 290bhp then I would seriously question it's accuracy as it goes a lot quicker than 290bhp and would defy the laws of physics if it actually was..
Just seems odd that when some of our chaps run there car at JKM compared to other RR's, they are always way down on what they read elsewhere (even if they are another set of DD rollers like Weston Performance for instance)..
Like you say though, it's going to be near on impossible to prove and you can't fault JKM's accuracy for standard car's figures, but it just seems that modded/mapped cars always seem to pull crap results compared to every other RR in the country.. :confused:
Once I am back on the road I will definately make the long trip down to JKM just to get a comparison.. Be interesting if anything else.. :happy2:

....You say "crap results" - As far as I'm concerned there's absolutely nothing crap about my 240 bhp results and I don't care two figs what Stage my Revo tuning is called nor what numbers other people think I should be plotting due to my mods. Neither do I equate an amount of money I give Revo to a bhp figure.
On a 'blindfold' test, I defy you to be able to tell whether your car is a 278 or 290 bhp anyway. Different bhp is delivered dynamically at many levels as you drive in the very different circumstances of road use.
You refer to Weston Performance - Well, their dyno plotted the same figures as JKM's on my car.

I'm not on about a bum dyno mate, i'm reffering to the performance aspect against other cars (the one that got me in trouble for a start :ashamed:) and more accurately my 1/4 mile / 0-100mph / 30-130mph times. There is no way a 1350kg car with 290bhp would achieve those results IMO.. For a start it would give a power/weight of around 210bhp/tonne which is about what a Nissan 350Z is and a mapped ED30 would chew one of those up and spit it out.. :wink:

....Yes.
But I also get bored of people saying how their colour of car is the fastest.
