I have the chance to go on a rolling road day..

I'm not sure what power my van will be running. but is a rolling road day really worth it? should i bother

The van ran 172bhp when the privious owner had it on one, (see below) that seems high to me... if i was to go again would i be getting a simular sort of result

what do people think! it only has air filter, exhaust an a group N chip i'd love it to be this sort of power but i'm unsure!

I say bull sheets on the numbers, but the curves look good for a standard engine (yes yours is standard as far as I'm concerned).

Shapes mean more than numbers ;) unless you are at one of two sets of rollers in the UK I trust lol

The Rolling road that is local to me use a Dyno Dynamics set up, when i've had a chat to them they say they give the best readings, people are not always happy because they expect there car to be alot higher!

i would be very happy if my XE was standard power! i'm worried its lost lots of power!

DD rollers are ****... well thats a lie, they are good, but the operators just leave them in default settings and that gives bizzar numbers out. Like with all kit, its the setup and use thats key.

For nigh-on standard tune those figures are extreme bullshet
Should have done no more than book power if its a healthy one.
