Hi, I would like to find out the amount of bhp / torque of my Mk2 Fiesta XR2 sprint car. Does anyone know of a Good Rolling Road suitable for the car and roughly how much does it cost.
Thanks

second recommendation for Ricky Gauld.

He's always busy but that's a good thing.

Why do you want to know the power/torque? Are you adding some mods? Without getting into a debate, the RR only shows a figure which could, in theory, be meaningless. If you're doing work then yes, do the RR, do the mods then test it again on the same RR. If it's just to see what it's putting out, I personally would save my money

I bought the car as is and the previous owner told me it has an uprated cam and valve springs + webber twin 40 carbs but I don`t know the exact bhp. Also can Ricky Gauld set up the carbs as I was told one needs to be adjusted.

Aye, he'll balance carbs.

Run it on the RR to set it up, not to find out a nominal power figure though.

Ricky is apparently a bit of a wizard with Webers, he remapped the engine management on my car and the difference was astounding, so he ain't shabby with injection systems either.

I have only had him do work in my car once but would not hesitate to go back.
