G-I Circa 200 Bhp N-A Gti6 Engine

Its interesting that they have such problems with traction on there Dyno, I have read that before and wondered what the cause is...Do they have modern DAQ on it or just the old analog system? Iirc they use a Sun Ram 12...which has the same diameter rolls as my Ram 11, and same smooth finish...yet im able to test more power than that without issues, and generally diesels which cause much bigger issues with slip due to lots of torque at low roll speeds... And that is without pulling down front strap hard for grip...

I wonder if they still use analog dials / are limited to using low gears to stay within the hardware capability? If not it is strange....I mean I could happily hold back 220hp steady state on the clayton, and that was tiny 8.5" rolls with smooth finish, and very large roller spacing taking weight off the front roller, so its a bit of a mystery to me.... Would imagine they could justify pulling front roller out for knurling if there having issues like that? Or a DAQ upgrade if its that causing them the problem?

Not having a dig at all by the way at there setup as we all know they know what there doing, its just interesting to me to see what the cause of the issue is, as IMO testing a 200hp GTI6 engine should be no problem at all for that dyno...
