Read this thread for actual dyno figures on NA and SRT's.
Add what is considered to be the approximate percentage losses due to drive train losses and you should see what the approximate gross hp is at the crank..

What is a typical loss ? Lets say 20%. So if we had a car putting out 200 hp on the dyno we would be seeing 80% of the gross power. (200 ÷ 80) x 100 = 250 hp.
