Just so we're clear...
Stock figures:
HP: 282hp
Torque: 324lbft.
My guess?
Considering that it's kinda hard to pull alot of HP from my car... I'm going with ~300-310hp (crank). But of course I could be way off on that. I'm not too keen on the 4.4L V8.

300 hp at the engine with about a 11-13% drivetrain loss. The clutch & flywheel will make the car faster but not come out on the dyno.

I don't have the graph with me, The HP at the wheels was 255 and torque was 282. I am not sure if I should be dissappointed or not. It was hot and a 20 mile drive to the dyno place. If you figure 15-18% loss.
I calculated with 15% loss approx 300 HP and 330 lb-ft of torque. I checked the dinan webpage and they calculate with my mods 315 HP and 340 lb-ft of torque. Maybe they calculate with an 18% loss of power. They burned a CD with the 3 runs and some other tables. I will post it sometime this week.
It was fun to see some of the other cars on the dyno. The new M5, an E39 M5, a 2002, and about 20 other cars. My digital camera is broken, so no pictures. If you haven't dynoed your car, it is fun to do.

those are pretty good numbers. No reason to be dissapointed with those. What kind of numbers did the other cars post?

The new M5 posted 413 HP to the wheels and I didn't catch the torque. The e39 M5 posted 335 HP and I didn't hear his torque. I will post more later today. I have to get back to work.
