Organise an Ausmini WSID day. Weigh you car and then look at trap speeds, doesn't cost as much as either engine or chassis dyno run. Calculate Hp and compare it to the bananas you got off the rolling road.

Most of the theoretical equations used in engineering are empirical. That means they are based on experimental data not some finite solution. Using rolling road figures as an indication of performance is mis-guided, especially when the ramp rate is so high. It's a comparative test only &, like any experiment, unless there is a control sample to test against its worthless info...
