Went to AMD a week and a bit ago, and am very happy /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
The before and after rolling road results though, are quite interesting...
The before graph shows the power to be 195 bhp. AMD were very confused by this, and after running it a few times found nothing wrong with the way the car was running. In the end they decided it was due to the REVO trial remap, and Revo's "standard" map, not being quite so.
The "after" results seemed to be down on power too, in the end (after test drives by different AMD employees) they decided the car felt exactly how it should do, and put it down to heat soak. This would seem to make sense as they ran the car a number of times and the peak temp was 58 degrees (Rich has since mentioned he had a similiar thing with his car).
Also, is 42 % (68.8bhp) power loss a lot?
Anyways, service from AMD was great and I'm very happy with the outcome, just thought some of you might have found it interesting.

Power at wheels: 163.7 Bhp
Power loss (transmission, tyres, etc) 68.8 bhp (42%)
Maximum torque speed: 4588 Rpm (96.5 Mph in gear used)
Maximum engine torque (corrected): 277.4 lb ft
Maximum road speed reached in test: 128.6 Mph
Maximum engine speed reached in test: 6114 Rpm
