Default Re: What is the difference HP measured on tyres and engine ?

technically you have made more power, in those figures your showing a drivetrain loss (it creates friction afterall, you dont get something for nothing) less than 5% loss is impossable in an accent. Thats why i think you have increased in power, i would have assumed a ~20% loss for a standard car, so 72hp at the wheels. You have a good 8hp at the wheels increase, which would probably translate to having over 100hp at the engine now. (rough figures only)
