This dyno doesn't have the modern software that spits out a nice tidy dyno sheet with all the amth already done for you, much of it (like brake specific fuel consumption numbers) has to be calculated seperately, which is then written down by hand. Not exactly convenient, but it works.

I'm getting impatient too!

Thanks Sam.

Surprising how much the little things many people take for granted can affect output, isn't it?

There's still more in store for it too.
