The Dynamometer did the calculations for me, it spit out both flywheel and RWHP in one test, and I had no way of knowing what the car was like before the modifications, I really do believe that I'm loosing a lot of HP from the stock catalytic converters and if I don't do the supercharging thing soon I'm thinking of getting a comforty? chip for my car, along with some tuned headers. I really think my car should be making more then 300 H.P. at the rear wheels.

Jim ;-)

I, independently, just asked for before and after (chipping) dyno results.

I'm was going to assume yu got RWHP from the pulls on the "drum" and then calculated (standard losses) to get flywheel hp? But your discussion seems to say that you got flywheel hp of 293.2 and then "calculated" RWHP?
I have a Nissan Twin Turbo that showed substantial RWHP after chipping (intake and exhaust).

Those runs were "adjusted" to Standard Temperature and (atmospheric) Pressure and then the dyno tech "calculated flywheel HP from the numbers.
