[s-cars] RS2 "Killer" dyno results

[mlp]

First, just for dyno giggles, http://www.pumaracing.co.uk/power3.htm  

2nd, just as a wild ass guess, I'm aware of some speculative, but far from
dawsonized, tests that posit, or at least could be argued that Les
Allemand's might have left upwards of 50 to 60 bhp on the table in a 20v
turbo Audi head.

But as Dave has suggested, a final conclusion in that regard will have to
await a more controled test in which fewer varriables are involved.

Just my .02$
