LOW torque??!!

[rod the sod]

Hey i am just wondering if anyone knows why my torque figure is lower than expected! i had a custom map with RStuning and had 360 lbft of torque about a month ago (on a pd130 hydrid) and when i got on the RR last weekend it only managed 288lbft?? the break horse power was pretty much bang on for both @ 215bhp!

so thats about a 70lbft decrease any ideas?? is it worth giving RS tuning a ring to find out or am i being just paranoid?

cheers

I'd have it dyno'd again to be honest, The rollers went bonkers that day we were on it.
M4rv3's 200SX sent the rollers scatty and the next Civic type R that went on there pulled around 300 and something BHP.

I'd have it rolling roaded again before contacting RS Tuning, If its still the same I'd be having words!

Never go with just one dynos results. Best to average your results over 2 or more different dynos!

Alsio remember that fuel, tyres, weather and ventilation (amongst many, many different parameters) will all have an impact on the run...

ye there is that, but its just very wierd how i got the same bhp and i am down more than 70 lbft! i just cant see them being that far out! will have to get an other RR in the nxt few weeks and then will have 3 to compare! i would definately be expecting about 360lbft with the st2 hybrid! the 290lbft would be saticfactory for a petrol not a derv!
