he was a bit angry when my throttle cable came apart 
oh and when he was putting lawton's corsa on. He also commented that he 'hates autos' when he was spooling Paul's Omega up.
So the power figure for the Omega wont mean shit due to the Auto transmission giving false readings??

After looking at the figures again they seem spot on.

Even if they had the same output the corsa would be faster due to the weight of the mothership.
yea, the fact that the figures are almost the same says nothing about the speed. The delivery of the two engine's power is completely different and the weight of the Omega over the corsa would mean the corsa is quicker.
The Zlet is only running 0.5 bar of boost too, its set-up for every day and to allow the engine to last as im sure it feels quick as it is!
0.5bar is standard boost, its just under powered

am I reading the graphs wrong? that zlet when owned by stavs was getting 200ish BHP at the RR day i organised, is it some conversion to 'HP' as displayed on the graph or what?

The graphs on the wall were whp, it got 186 at the fly. Iain said that Stavs got 212 last time but the operator didn't mention any issues apart from he thought the boost seemed low and advised a some boost control and low comp pistons iirc

I was as shocked as the rest of you. I haven't done one thing to alter the engine not one thing. The plus side is he said that the engine is in absolute perfect condition. He said it was runnin absolutly perfect and needs more boost but apart from that there is nothing else i can explain or say. I have changed, mauled with, fiddled with absolutly nothing.

so its fair to say its dropped a bit of boost pressure, maybe you have a leak somewhere? loose hose etc...
