Well, on Saturday i went to the dyno day that CVE were running in Hallam.
Now since my car is stock, apart from a ryco air filter, top gun 8mm leads and new plugs (nothing performance), and has been regularly serviced, i wasn't expecting much. Anything above a 100rwkw and i was gonna be happy.

So you can guess my reaction when bluey span this up


I guess the manual was worth more than i thought.
The only problem now, the mod bug has hit harder then before :evil3:

Cheers

PS. i know people are sceptical about dyno's and the numbers they put out, but i think they are a good guide to the power of a car. So don't argue that in here

$60 or something for the leads(repco) and and $4ish per plug(autobarn). As i said nothing performance wise just replaceing factory bits.
Although leads were about half the resistance of the ford one

Nice figure there, by way of comparison were there any other stockish AU's there and what did they pull.

You can see where it went rich at 140km/h ... the power dropped off as well.
Started off pretty lean as well.

Nice figures though for what has been done .... excellent work.

How much does it cost to throw a car onto a dyno to see the power figures and stuff?

I have NO idea on anything like that, but would be very interested to see what my dead-stock AU2 puts out.
