A stock SS Camaro also dyno'd at 384. If we assume 15% losses like you just did, then it made 452 hp at the crank, so it must be under rated by 26 hp ... But that is 1 run on 1 car. Typical seems to be in the area of 360-365 to the wheels right now. It is not a universal law that every car must loose 15% through its driveline, that is a guideline only. Better is a 10-15% zone, which would have put that Mustang at ... 544 hp. On top of that, was that run corrected to the SAE standards or was it just a readout from the graph?
