    if ya want an accurate horsepower and torque rolling road, ya'l have to go to england. martin treacy in enfield is apparently ok, but anyone else is just a chancer and use made up graphs and readouts.

    Thats a fairly large sweeping statement there!

    Ive seen runs from other roads in ireland and some have matched up within a few bhp and some have been well off,but i dont think you could say they use made up stuff

    ive brought my altezza to Martin in Enfield and he is very good. Give you a lot of useful info about your car and how to get more from it. My mate was down with him yesterday however and he said he is fully booked up till November! Not sure if this was for group sessions or what

    Different dynos will give slightly different readings anyway , esp since you have to correct for airpressure/humidity/fuel etc
    Anyway you can buy a little yoke that will work out power by acceleration , you tell it mass of car+you and it will work it out from acceleratin in say 2nd/3rd sorta thing. Dunno if it'd be accurate but it should be.
