Hmm, after my last experience of Bridgewater, I probably wouldn't do it again...
Unless you literally tell them to give you a wheels power figure, fair play to the guy for listening to me about the old throttle control, but all the runs were calculated at 5% transmission losses, so I had to recorrect everyones results as they made no sense whatsoever... Even 15% tranny losses is being nice for a 175k mile BE box that's had engine oil in for half it's life...
So either only take account of the actual wheels figure and do the correction yourself. Or do it like every country in the world and do wheel figures!!!!!!!! They're the ONLY figure that means anything... This countrys obsession with flywheel figures I do not understand - it's just because it's a bigger number!
