Two different shoes, cleat placement = difference in sustainable power?

Think I’d know better and have checked my equipment before a race but I had a so-so bike last weekend, in terms of power it was a bit of a struggle to get watts up to 100-100% of FTP (sprint)…

Low & behold cleats on my Sidi T1s were way fwd of where I ride in my Time road shoes, which is usually as far back as they will go.

Yeah, there are other factors but everything was pretty controlled going in.

What sort of difference are we talking re cleat placement ?

Time four bolt or three bolt?

Time three bolt…

Same pedals/cleats, same bike (train and race on same rig) Shimano Ultegra & Shimano Look style cleat.

As long as your saddle height remained within an acceptable range, the answer would almost certainly be “none whatsoever”.
