That's really odd. B5 it was like 22-25% IIRC. Hmmmm.

Default B5 was multiply by 1.25.... Either the B5 figure was wrong or...
the incresed rolling radius of the rims on this car requires a different factor or... any number of things. If you use 1.25 my car made 315 stock.

Ah. So you assume your car is making 340. Hehe.

Default Thanks. Do you understand that there is a percentage of hp lost through the driveline...
on it's way to the wheels? This percentage will differ by car depending on type of transmission, transmission maker, two wheel vs all wheel drive, etc.
