Default <shrugs> As long as each run takes the same amount of time, but 40 seconds sounds like a bit

If I go thru 3+ gears in under 13 seconds, then I can't see how a 40 second run provides any more data points then a consistent 12-15 second run.

Default My point is that it seems like an unrealistic time frame for a highly stressed car-

Also would really tax a cooling system unrealisticly.

Default Heat soak would definitely screw things up...also

turbo cars tend to put out their best numbers under high load situations. If the moment of inertia of the drums is so high that it takes 40 seconds to make a pull, you're going to see artificially high power numbers down low tapering to low numbers up top when heat soak sets in.

Default yes I would agree, thus my statement of sounds like an excessive long time. for what reason?

I would agree that sounds like an excessive long time.

I'm not really worried about the duration, more about the rpms and fan speed. *ducks*
