At the hubs, dyno dynamics does it at the wheels

according to the calculater my HP would be 588. I made 635 on a Dynapack so 588 to the wheels would kind of make sense?

Do you think there would be about a 47 horsepower different if you used a conventional chassis dyno from rolling resistance of two tires? That seems a bit on the high side to me, but maybe I'm wrong.
At 2800 lbs and 100 mph, a 0.012 rolling resistance coefficient, I get 9 HP for all four tires.

So, I'd buy a 10-15 HP difference, not 47 HP. Stock S2000s see less than a 47 HP loss between the SAE 240 HP tested at the crank.

That's more difference than I would expect. Not sure what tire slippage factor would be, but it does seem high. Did you get the weight right, including driver, etc?
