yes they do, you wont get the same reading twice, well if you do itll be a fluke.

Gurantee if you went to a different rolling road to the one you used it'll show a different torque reading. On a rolling road tourque is not recorded accurately. I even read on that Dave B's thread you could more or less pluck that out of the air.

Also thats your peak torque where as i am guessing the spread of torque is far flatter and progressive on Icemans car

Well done mate pleased you got the results you more or less wanted they are top boys at power engineering

As for the cams i think 264's are prolly the most agressive you can go on standard pistons although i may be wrong on this.

a rolling road measures torque and converts to bhp. if it does not measure torque accurately then it's not measurein bhp accurately either


agreed, id hope the torque was the more accurate reading of the two

Good old Power Engineering!

brad the reason his torque figure is lower than yours is because of the cams he is running ... It's reduced the peak torque, but extended it further on the rev range so he makes more power top end.
