why not the LS2LS7? @ Dec 8th 2007 7:25PM
546HP / 0.87 = 627.5HP.
I don't know if I trust these guys cailbrate a dyno if they can't do math.

615 horsepower at the flywheel with a 13% loss gets me to 544 horsepower (close enough to their 546).
615 / 1.13 = 544

13% loss means you have 87% left, so it should be whatever the horsepower amount times 0.87, so LS2/LS7 is right.

I meant BHP * 0.87, just to be clear.
So WHP/0.87 should equal to BHP.
