| Re: how is bhp determined???? Presumably the lower graph is the measured power at the wheels and the top graph is the "calculated/guessed" power at the flywheel. Manufacturers quote power at the flywheel, but they measure it directly on a bench dyno so it is accurate. Chris

| Re: how is bhp determined???? Insurance is interested in increase in BHP from before manufacturers figures. At that point you would need before and after runs.
