Interesting to see the variation of transmission losses across the cars. 70 bhp on the 997 being the highest was a surprise with it being the newest. Also shows that extracting extra ponies from a 964 is an expensive business, I think Marks car also has special cams & heads along with motec and 3.8 conversion.
 
ORIGINAL: carreraboy Might be there tomorrow night, are you taking the Yellow Boy?

Yellow boy is now sorned for the winter, will be in Elsie, the blue drop head winter kit car-alike? Really impressed with the results of SteveH's cup car...impressed to the point of being a bit scared...no wonder he said it was a challenge on track! [:D]

Transmission losses are normally an algorhythm from the original reading, 997 possibly had the biggest tyres resulting in the most drag/friction.....it's often not quite as scientific as we might expect?

Steve's Cup Car has recently had a more restrictive standard exhaust, allowing 103db for track days, what it would have run with the race set up who knows!
 
I just heard from someone trying to get hold of Bob Watson that the phone is not being answered and its all locked up. Any idea what's happening there Des?

Very sad indeed ...... particularly Modified and Turbo Registers .... maybe he will reopen somewhere, we had such a great Dyno Day, could not have gone better, a pre-season clinic to be announced and a return to the dyno, not to mention great (temporary I hope) loss to the the Gruppe R boys and alike, who will build those group C engines now?
