It's my understanding that you'll get ~385hp to the wheels with K-04 Upgrade

Default wheel #'s arent as impressive. also, for comparative purposes...
If all the other HP/Torque figures from other products are listed at the crank, and APR listed at the wheel, people would no doubt confuse the 2 and say "apr's stuff is not as powerful as other people's stuff" since the power measurements are from different sources. its for simplicity's sake.

also, it's nice to say that their kit can put out over 400HP. wheel #'s would be much less and wouldn't catch people's eye as much.

Right... So how does APR calculate the crank hp? What is their multiplier?
