Default Re: Horsepower

6 years ago and since, we have had members complaining at the 30% parasitic loss shown via the baseline dyno reads.

I was 143 hp at the wheel with engine specs at a supposed 215 HP at the crank.

Keep in mind the dynos are possibly different and give different reads depending on ambient conditions.

To see actual gains one must attempt consistant conditions and testing calibrations. The percentage of gain measured at the wheel. And that value can be interpreted mathematicaly from the crank but not measured precisely.
