When u measure HP, how much do u add on to the # it gives u since its measuring RWHP and it is going to be less because of drag since the car is moving, not like a dyno. Thanks!!

Just like at a chassis dyno, depending on whou you talk to, you add 12-15% for manual drivetrains, and 15-18% for autos. Each dyno place I've been to had slightly different "ideas" on what the percentages should be.

When my car was dynoed last, the operator factored in 18% for my auto.
