I'm gonna post scans of the printed dyno reports but it won't be until I get back home sometime tomorrow.

Anyway I do have one question. From what I've read from various websites, the hp at the wheels is approximately 85% that it is at the crank due to power loss through the drive shaft, gears, etc. Does that mean that the dyno readings my car produced (324 rwhp - SAE corrected) are approx. 85% that it is at the crank? In other words doing the math does that mean my car is producing approx. 380 hp at the crank? I know this may seem like a dumb question but I want to make sure I'm clear on things. Matt at the shop was pretty suprised the car was making that much power and the tech running the car asked if I had put new heads on and was also suprised to find out it was pretty much stock.

Any info is appreciated.

Thanks

Ant
