I have 2 months off before the build season starts so I plan to get my G on the road in that time.

i am up for this but only at aldon, for me they are very consistant and as yoof said we have lots of previous power data with them for good comparisons.

I'm interested in putting mine on. Don't mind where. :) Would lean towards aldon though as I've been a few times and they give at the wheels and at the flywheel figures don't they?

Gaz - John Sleath will show you an at flywheel figure too, but he's reluctant to stick it on the print-out - possibly to avoid anyone accusing his dyno of under/over-estimating the transmission losses.

As I see it, the main benefit of Aldon is lots of historic data for comparison purposes - though Club G40 were at John Sleath Racing last year, so there's some info there too. In favour of John Sleath Racing is multiple runs - and John's often happy for you to swap ECUs (to try a different chip) or tweak the ignition timing slightly inbetween runs.

Ah I did wonder about that - I did want to see what difference one of Alan's 8k chips makes. Alhough I've already fitted it now and only have the 1 ECU, don't really fancy taking my ECU to bits in the car park. :)

Fair enough about the 'at the fly' figures. Aldon's figures do vary quite alot from memory. Some GTs were loosing 20bhp through the transmission while others (like mine and yoofs IIRC) were loosing 30 or so.

Gaz I've got a GT ECU you could borrow for a day if you want?
