So now the bet is 375 instead of 400? You're at least getting more realistic.
Let's do some math:
stock crank hp: 230
stock dyno'd wheel hp: 133 (from my car)
that's a loss of 42% assuming my motor is somehow still putting out the stock rated crank power (I'm sure it's not, but neither is yours more than likely).
So, assuming 42% loss, 375 crank hp is 217.6 awhp. If you want to go with those numbers, then I won't take your bet. In fact, I think 220 awhp is probably very close to what you're going to see when you dyno that car.
I just don't want to see you disapointed when the car doesn't throw down 330 awhp on the dyno. 220 awhp is a gain of 87 hp at the wheels! I spent well over $10,000 getting my 198 awhp WRX to 290 awhp. Keep your expectations realistic, or you're going to end up with a sick-ass SVX that you hate because you're going to feel like it's not living up to the beast you're making up in your head.
