Yeah I did it, I got the old girl strapped down to a rolling road. Completely the slowest car there, but proud at the result.
With a rev limitor cutting it at 4500rpm, it means that maximum power at the wheels is being delivered as low as about 2100 rpm. Not bad for a 26 year old engine cobbled together, its got a 604TD head, but no turbo! in a 28 year old car.
Its also real weird stood looking at your own car at maximum everything, but not actually moving.... of course my m8s 504TI with Kugelfischer 108bhp and Slugomatic as he calls it kicked in comparison to my plodding 70. The challenge was to out torque him, but the machine couldnt take the reading from a diesel as there is no ignition system!
