A Graham Goode 330bhp conversion on a cossie produes 330bhp at the flywheel and 300bhp at the wheels, losing next to nothing.

Do our Audi's lose so much because the engines are tansverse and have to go through the transfer box?

But I suppose the engine is like that so they can produce the FWD withouht too much alterations?!?!?!?!?

I have to say that my car is performing fine. I had plenty of time at Oulton Park on the straights to see how my car compared to other chipped cars and a standard R32 and there is no way my car only has 233 bhp. I think it was just a case of a bad day on the rollers for me.

Further evidence that the last RR was a bad day on the rollers for me. I went back on AMDs rollers yesterday and got...

260.6 bhp and 301.6 lb/ft

Well pleased. Only change to car since last RR in December was I had rotated my wheels, front to back.

Same REVO settings too, high boost 6 timing 5.

Looks like you need two new hamsters in a couple of your wheels.
Too much is bad.
Plenty is better.
