You do understand the difference between crank and wheel hp numbers right?

The reason no one has posted a dyno with over 400 hp, is because dynos report wheel hp numbers, which are about 20% less than crank numbers - due to drivetrain loss. (Depending on who you ask, they may say 19% or 18%) To get a dyno of 400, you'd have to have 500 crank hp. No one is there yet, and I don't know if anyone will with this car.

Alternatively, it's not hard to push 350 crank hp up to 400. As far as a dyno is concerned that would be pushing 280 up to 320. Here's a dyno of one:

The blue line is stock, the red is with SC pulley, the green is with intake and pulley. Note the 322 peak hp. Convert that to crank hp and that's 402.5.

Or here's another one from the Code3 product page: 324 whp.
