barneybrendan Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 when you get the print out is that rwhp or flywheel hp from a rolling road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Could be either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Could be either. or both if you ask the operator to give you multiple print outs. normally they go for the fwhp as its higher and sounds better in the pub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSeaman Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Unless you connect the engine to the dynanometer they are only measuring horsepower at the wheel, they then use a correction factor where they add x% for drivetrain losses so it's never as accurate as the figure they actually measure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
