Just got the car back from being set up on the rollers after some 40's fitted, the engine has also been ported, polished, a cam but not sure which one, vernier pulley, uprated valves an springs and a 4 branch manifold. by the way the engine is a 1.4sr. Anyway it made 90bhp at the wheels which i would have thought it be making some where near the 110bhp at the flywheel.?

it depends on choke sizes as to what power it makes. what was your torque like?

they never told me the torque, i never really got a print out as such. They just did the set up an noted down the peak power although it would have been nice to both the torque an power.

thats good mate; ide expect your torque to be similar (90-110 lbft.) though its all about the smoothness of the curve isn't it.? well youde beat me anyway. just. even with your five doors. good on ya mate. they're 70 odd standard aren't they?

You should try and get a printout next time. Not only is this so you can show everyone, but it'll give you something to compare against the next time you get a Rolling Road figure.
