Warrender/RC Developments Damming Engine Report

Here is the report that everyone should see, please bear in mind that prior to this report (2500 miles ago) RC Developments, had done a FULL engine rebuild, since that time, the car has NOT been on any track days, the main reason for this was because RC Developments had the car so many times to try and fix the power issues - as I had bought a 380bhp car and the most it ever produced was 361bhp.

That's a rather hefty list of problems. I have one question regarding your horsepower claim though: how was your engine tested (conditions/dyno type/etc)?

The engine has been tested on a total of 3 seperate rolling roads

Including one rolling road that RC Developments used themselves, by picking up my car and driving it there - that was at a place call Amersham Imperial College, however the report on this road came back with about 371 ps - which is not the same as 371 bhp - also another thing noted with the graphs was the fact that there was no boost graph available, as they forgot to fit the sensor!
