| Don't waste your time mate, get it deltadash checked next time Andy is up, it will give you a more accurate reading as it's done on the road in the right conditions, I have totally given up on rolling roads as they are far too subjective and don't replicate real world conditions, as a measuring system they are very poor and should have the word "ish" after every result. I have a "g" meter app on my phone that I trust more than rollers at the moment  | |

|   G meter app!! you lost that much faith in them? When it was getting mapped I asked Andy if he could do a power run and he said the early Alca Tek ecu's didn't have the software on to provide a figure  so he gave me a guesstimate. | |

I'd be hedging my bets if someone asked me to race on a privet road  | |

| Andy's estimates are pretty close.
Evotune is in Duhram, Jamie is spot on!
In reality, as JMG has said, RR are a decent idea of what its reading but nothing will replicate real world driving and engine loading. | |

| Going to look into other devices too, remember many years ago using an AP22, surly that tech has moved on over the years. | |

| looks like the ecutek pro can read oem or modified oem ecus from 1999-2012.
can read all information, reset ecu, read fault codes and produce dyno runs. | |

| Is it not just motoscope rollers that are the issue as the area and fans they use are wank? Car facing a wall very limited airflow for the car/cooling system | |

| Still just a guesstimate though, you get a true reading on the road | |

| Jamie at Evotune uses uncalibrated dyno dynamics rollers though, he only uses them for tuning so no need for calibration.
To get at least a try at accurate results you need calibrated rollers. | |
