il await to be told wrong

156bhp then :)

[Sean]

anywhere between 18 and 23% depending on who you listen to

[hesslevtr]

POWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW i was right

Depends on the transmittion. It can be calculated by the people who test the car by calculating the amount of drag as the wheels slow down after the run. Also if you have a lightened and balanced flywheel that can make a huge difference

only way to tell accurately is dyno the engine on its own, wheel figures are where real men do business anyway:P

A godd Dyno garage should be able to tell you after your run, but as mentioned its to be taken with a pinch of salt :-)

[williamsvts]

about 33bhp in standard form.
i wouldnt really take much notice of the figures anyway, a rolling road can give you whatever figure the operater wants it to.

[s60tsy]

123bhp then
