Stock i was 306 hp
Turbo16lbs was 317
04blackc32 was 307
But this was in south florida with warm temperatures and high humidity. Keep in mind, these cars perform better with every dyno. So your third run will be your best.

So, my question is, is the driveline in the C55 super efficient, or is the motor actually making more than the rated 362hp?
I typically use 20% as a good driveline loss figure for an automatic. At that percentage, your rwhp would be 290. With your number, and using 362 flywheel hp, driveline loss would be only 14.5%, which is extremely efficient. Or, with 312rwhp and 20% driveline loss, your car is actually making 390hp at the crank.
Anyone have any insight into this?

i agree with hlg600 multiplying by 1.2 is more accurate. Dividing by .8 is the same as multiplying by its recepical of 5/4 = 1.25
(312 / (8/10) ) = 312 * (5/4)
so your adding 25% not 20%
(312 / (8/10) ) = 312 * (5/4)
so your adding 25% not 20%

Figure 15% on RWD/FWD, 20% with AWD and I've been "close" most of the time (as another poster stated-diff dynos will show diff #'s)-good work on the #'s-is it bone stock (oil and all?)-thats good news for us newbies looking to mod.

rwhp / 0.80 = estimated flywheel hp with an automatic.
rwhp / 0.85 = estimated flywheel hp with a manual.
-or-
Rated flywheel hp x .80 = estimated rwhp with an automatic.
Rated flywheel hp x .85 = estimated rwhp with a manual.

My formulas are correct and are the industry standard. Trust me--I owned and operated a Dynojet for almost 8 years.
rwhp / 0.80 = estimated flywheel hp with an automatic.
rwhp / 0.75 = estimated flywheel hp with a manual.
-or-
Rated flywheel hp x .80 = estimated rwhp with an automatic.
Rated flywheel hp x .75 = estimated rwhp with a manual.
