Even with a meager 15 percent drivetrain loss, that number equates to nearly 465 hp at the flywheel."
I heard the Dyno pulls werent done in the right gear ??? They are supose to pulled in a gear thats 1:1 ratio for better accuracy on H.P. If there is any truth to that i dont know. However if thats the case it explains the high numbers.
