Default BHP vs WHP questions...

Is there a multiplication factor to convert?

My car is supposed to be 247 HP (DIN) which is BHP, or very close to it, right?

So let's say with mods I get it up to 280 WHP, what would the BHP be?

I think the typically accepted figure is a loss of 15% due to driveline inefficiencies. YMMV.

I had looked it up before and got a range of 13-18% for manuals and 17-22% for autos. Those are just bases and there are multiple factors involved.

15% is the accepted average.

Do you deliver? If so, 1 case of Woodford Reserve, 1 G3 with 2k rds of 7.62, and a carton of Camel regulars. Take Paypal?

Better yet, I believe that since the BATF was reorganized under the Dept of Homeland Security, Explosives has also been added to their title - Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. So you can also add a case of Composition C-4 to your order, enjoy!

I did that for you I'd have to do it for everyone now, wouldn't I.

Oh yeah, and I forgot they also have porno magazines, so really everything a guy could ever need.

I cant help you out with the old non-electric caps, fuse ignitors, or time fuse. Det cord is still in wide spread use, but the initiation systems have all swapped over to MDI.
