Thumbs up Estimated...

Probably 15bhp above what you had before. 10 from the pulley, 5 from the CAI. Certainly no more.

Be very wary at the rolling road. There are numerous aspects of the whole setup than can give you high or low readings. Take them with a pinch of salt.

For me, I'd not be looking at the BHP end figure, but instead the smoothness and delivery of the power as depicted on the graph - are there any flat spots, is it stepped, does it flatten out early or late etc.

also make sure that the guy pressing the pedal in yuor car does it correctly and also that he lets the car run down after the acceleration stage. The rundown, that calculates your drive train drag is as important as the accelration stage. without this you can't determine your true BHP. i.e., no early braking on the rolling road pedal etc.

RR are a dark art.

Yes - i'll get my vid done soon. i have an external camera mount so can place it on and external car panel or window. I'll also do a drive by and some stand still shots. All good fun hey.

Cheers,
K.
