i hope you achieve the figure you are looking for mate but I wouldn't go mad on the rollers if your still running it in unless the rings were built to a tolerance fit good luck mate :agree:

Dont take this the wrong way but why do people still pay tuners **** loads of cash? The knowledge of gtts on this forum is second to none.

For max power rev it hard from the off. For longevity slowly from the off. I've never understood this 'running in' talk on a crude 1950's engine? :scratch:

This will all depend on how well the engine and carb is set up, if its done well i'd say 220ish, if done poorly can be a hell of alot lower.
automedics race spec carb fueling set for 22psi this is the bit i would query over but will see on the day


I'll be at the rolling road too so will be good to watch all the cars.

My daily...see profile has a similar spec with a few more trick bits thrown in and it has dyno print outs from the day ben {boris} started puttin it on the rollers..they go up to its present state and it made 216bhp so im guessing it will be similar in power.
All the rr tests were done over the years at the same rollin road.

Hi Grant, do you not fancy building and maintaining your 5 from now on? There's a lot of satisfaction from achieving things yourself. If you've been helping Justin out you must of learnt a fair bit by now.:)
