Hi, rolling road results can carry huge errors, miscalibration, faulty (worn?) ,operator error, slippage , brand /type of RR etc.
You need to measure the losses (which are high here I know , but then the whp figure is low too). The flywheel figure tbh seems somewhere handy to what you might expect for the mods done, which illustrates the importance of measuring & adding on the losses figure. In this instance I'd be looking to establish why the losses were high. ie Are the brakes binding? Is the tracking out? Am I running 22" wheels? What gear was it done in. Is it an early MCS where the gear are higher (gives lower whp figure).
Ive seen RR figures (wheel & Flywheel) vary by such huge amounts that it begs the question can you rely on the results atall? -

Best Regards Roland GTT
