The HP number listed is what is called the "Tax Horsepower". It has little if any value unless your vehicle license registration cost is calculated based on this number. An explanation can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_horsepower
PS is Metric Horsepower sometimes called DIN Horsepower. To covert PS to SAE Horsepower: divide the PS Number by 0.9863 -or- to convert SAE Horsepower to PS multiply the SAE Horsepower by 0.9863.
If you do the math you will find you are unable to to make 370 equal 379 nor will you be able to make 379 equal 370. This is because the Tax Horsepower is a completely different formula.
