Congratulations.
The 996 has a proven 16% drivetrain loss. From the 1999 C2 running 250~ rwhp to the 3.6 C4S runnning 272~ rwhp.
350rwhp is something around 408Hp.

That is great news! I have a question about what companies like Europipe, Powerchip, Cargraphic, Fabspeed, etc. post. They always show a benchmark and starting point of 380 crank hp and then show a gain from that point. If these motors are really producing more hp - could these companies be using the conservative Porsche numbers to assist themsleves in showing improvements?
Has anyone dynoed and then re-dynoed their cars to see a true difference?
Rockitman - have you re-dynoed?

Fyi, if you know RPM and Power you can calculate Torque, or, obviously, if you know RPM and Torque, you can calculate power. Relationship and conversion constants are as follows:
(Torque in Newton-Meters)*RPM/9840 = Power in KW
1 Newton-Meter = 0.7376 lb-ft
1 HP = 745.7 Watts = 0.7457 KW
It is interesting to calculate the torque from your HP graphs (a little EXCEL spreadsheet work will do it...)

FWIW...350rwHP with a 16% drivetrain loss equals 417HP by my calculation

The way you look at converting rwhp to flywheel, is to consider that 350rwhp is 84% of a number.
350rwhp /.84% = 416.66 HP You can go back wards to check 416.66 x .84
350rwhp /.84% = 416.66 HP You can go back wards to check 416.66 x .84
