Default Horsepower Question ????

We have a 2011 Gran Sport . What is the true rear wheel horsepower?
Is the 430 hp rating a flywheel rating ?



Thanks !!

430 is flywheel HP (436 w/NPP).

Depending on the Dyno RWHP will be from 375RWHP A6 to 390RWHP M6.

If your Gran Sport is stock don't expect to see those numbers above at the rear wheels on almost any chassic dyno. More realistic rear wheel horsepower would be around 345-370RWHP, give or take depending transmission type and dyno used. There is no true RWHP number, it all varies from dyno to dyno.

My car has been on 3 different dynos (1 Mustang dyno and 2 Dynojets) with 3 different RWHP numbers ranging from 414rwhp to 442rwhp, all SAE corrected.
