Rolling Road day

[55starchief]

Whilst i was at silverstone this morning i went and found the rolling road. They do rolling road days although a little higher than the last @ £50 but they do go a little further and you could make adjustments if you wanted ie change to the fueling or timing but not taking the pi$$. Each car is checked over including tyre pressures then they give each car a couple of pulls in different gears to find the best before a final couple of pulls to get the power.

Would probably be looking late this year early next if i organised something

If I have a car that can go on I'd be interested.

Ditto if the dusters ready.

[Jamieg285]

Yep, I'm in.

[FUBAR]

me too, I want to see what the IROC is putting out

[EDGE]

hehehe..... everyone's at it huh

i'm organising another one for october/november too. ACW will be covering it again, looks like the same kinda place, they'll adjust and tune etc for £45.. its actually within a wind tunnel so they can simulate wind speeds of upto 180mph and stabilise temperatures.  

I'll be sorting out final things in a few weeks or so... sorry to jump on your thread 55, I dont mean to tread on toes

I'll be up for this one if it's the next one, as I'll need to check if my new fuel pump has resolved my previous 'issues'.

Why?? (Just curious)

Personally no. TBH, it's not much different to going to the one we did before.

[EDGE]

thats what i thought,

as for the cars on the dyno, the auo-boxes can cause some dyno's problems as well as general familiarity of american cars and thier power production..

if you take a big block chevelle to a rice burner dyno the guy will likely stamp on the gas and wait for the turbo lag.... do that in a big block and you're likely to end up in the wall !!!!
