    Rolling Road session booked, anything I should know? What should I expect?

    Booked for next week.
    Standard Mk2 RS2000 apart from unleaded ported head FR31 Cam.

    Anything I should do before I go rather than make a Schoolboy error?

    Also what power should I expect?

    make sure oil + water levels and tyre pressures are correct.
    you get full throttle, plenty of fuel in the tank

    125 bhp

    Do your homework about the rollingroad-place and operator.
    A proper RR session includes camshaft-timing checks and adjustment, same for ignition and not just a quick carb-jet change.

    Depending on RR and operator anything between 90 and 130 bhp :-)

    Sadly, engine power. If you got 130 Bhp on the wheels, they are cheating on you.
