Rolling Road Passed - FAKE MOT done - the SVA awaits..

Had a great session yesterday with the car.

Rolling road - was ace, very impressed with the results. A stock 2.0 Zetec 1994 (12 years old), bike TB's, MegaSquirt and a MAC#1 custom exhaust - 155bhp (at 6200 RPM). I limited it @ 6200 - was too scared to thrash it to 7500 straight away - so probably engine is good for 160hp?

The Torque curve was awesome 135lb foot

I took it down a private road - it's bloody quick

So just the usual sticking of rubber and plastic over the next few days ready for Monday!

Hi Jacko,

That's at the flywheel mate - around 135 at the wheels.

You lose around 20hp through the transmission/tyres etc.

As stated you could probably get more - my rev limit was 6300 - the power curve was still strong at this point.
