So I was looking at te poster Brad has and it says that PSH has 537hp...last I knew, the most you guys got out of it was 467, then you tuned it down for driving purposes...just curious as to where the exrta 80 horsepower came from....or is this your version of the "horsepower rating" of the motor before any power is lost throught the drivetrain....

467.16 rwhp times 1.15 for 15% drivetrain loss equals 537.23 at the engine. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img]

I believe FWHP is calculated like this..... 467.16hp / (1-0.15) = 467.16/0.85 = 549.6 fwhp.

I think you're right Dan. 549.6 x 0.85 = 467.16

I added 13 fwhp to your car [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img] I'm a pretty decent "MOD", pun intended [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrinjester.gif[/img]

Well for normal day to day driving, the car is detuned down to about 400rwhp which is around 470hp at the flywheel. Plus Brad doesnt beat on it constantly.
