The 997S has about 300 hp at the wheels. You have about a 15% loss in power throught the manual tranny to the wheels. Demand dyno of RWHP and not calculated crank HP as many shops simply use a higher drivetrain loss percentage to get the figures higher.

The dyno we use is a Maha which is the standard for the industry.why is it that no manufacture gives RWHP and by what you are saying the figures given by Porsche are wrong.
