    I think I've asked this before and never got an answer - you need to tell me WHAT HAPPENS. I don't know what it is. Sorry for being stupid like.

    You take your car and the put it on a set of rollers and then the man that controls the rollers sits in your can and takes it thro the rev range and you get a reading back with you bhp torque and also a graph showing the curve and where it runs lean or heavy on petrol ect ...
