Actually, brucek2 you have what I consider to be a typical AP2 car. The ones in the dyno I posted above had only a few hundred miles on them, and on the other hand I doubt the validity of the 28hp gain dynos. I assume you have quite a few miles on your car? About 10hp more than an AP1 really does seem, in my opinion, rather typical.

Does anyone else hate it when they plot the dyno graph with a different scale for HP and TQ???
It's so much easier to read if they're on the same scale.

The truth of the matter is that only the Berlinas (all years) were underrated, it is the fastest color.

there's no SET/SOLID/100% way to measure drive train loss, don't act like you came out with some world changing formula.

15-20% should be the ballpark number
First off you need to calm down. If you can tell me how i cockblocked you, then i will shut my mouth. Second, you should learn to read my post a bit more carefully. I stated that with ABOUT 20% drivetrain loss, my calculations were obtained. Never did i once mention that my calculation was "set/solid/100%" in any way. 20% seems to be the general rule of thumb for the s2ks therefore that is what i stated. Also, not to be an ass but even if you calculate 15% drivetrain loss, that is 37.5 hp deducted through the drivetrain and would still not obtain 230 whp. You tell me who should calm down and stop cockblocking.
