what was that formula...

to figure out your at the wheels horsepower you take your crank hp and divide by 15%...17% for automatics

so by that math...I can take my 306hp at the wheels, and multiply it by 15% so that puts me at 351.9 hp

yeah its fibbed.

but realistically, a boosted 4v will make 500hp AT THE CRANK. Generally they put down 450rwhp. 450+15%=517.5 :cheers:

haha, but the "calculator" probably just got lucky on that one.
