We have corresponded in the past and whilst I appreciate your wants and desires, maybe you now understand why I map an engine on the dyno before it goes into the car, and then I put it on the chassis dyno after that. I have even gone away from a "roller" chassis dyno to a hub dyno because I have seen what happens when a car gets loose on the rollers .........

BTW, you have been given a life-lesson in how quickly thongs turn to sh1t when a car gets away from you and maybe apart from the laundry bill or the big butt-clench bite out of the seat, you and your vehicle survived !!

I'm not taking cheaps shot - I'm (and we all are) trying to save you from writing-off your car and maybe damaging yourself.

I've been around long enough to understand that you;ve invested a shed-load of your hard-earned and want it "right" ... but I am suggesting that doing it on the public highway is not the most appropriate way of proceeding.

High torque motorcars with one/off torque delivery have a bad habit of breeding magnets which suck you into the nearest metallic object and cause shed-loads of damage

Please take great care as the car will bite you arse if you give it half a chance.
