Come on Jags, dont you remember basic math? What number are you solving for? Do you want to know what known number is greater by 18% or what UNKNOWN number has been reduced by 18%.... Awww, you're just jacking me, you know these are two different numbers. OK I fell for it, I am sure you were just testing me
OK, Jags... 760 AWHP is the KNOWN number we are looking for the original UNKNOWN number at the flywheel. Since you want to go back to the original number here is the formula, FWHP= AWHP/(1- loss factor%) so that is 760/(1-.18%) which is 760/(.82) which equals 927
If this was RWHP it would be 760/(.88) or 863. Using your math 760X1.18= 897....
OK, now for a real world example..sorry I cant use big pictures on this one. Two days ago I accepted an Amex for payment on an invoice to move a car. The bill was 1200. I ran the card and 1152 was deposited in my bank account since Amex are thieves and took 4%. Ok, If I told you I just deposited 1152(AWHP) and I wanted to know what the original amount was (FWHP) and they took 4%.... your math is 1152x1.04=1198.08 or we can look for the ORIGINAL(FWHP) number 1152/(1- credit card Fee %) 1152/(1-.04) 1152/.96= 1200.....
As for the boost I will post everything once Todd gets me all the data/videos etc...

..... and KPG lived happily ever after. THE END.
It's home and it's over. I have to admit it may be the utimate( no pun intended) stealth vehicle. The engine bay, with the stock Y pipe, doesnt look it has a built engine...exactly the way I wanted it!
My wife took my son to baseball and I was expecting a phone call about the clutch, stalling etc... I got the call but it was to ***** me out for not putting in the code for the radio. Nothing like putting around doing errands in a 8K rpm Porsche!

Jeez Kevin, it feels like you just gave birth. Where are the cigars? Congratulations! Enjoy your summer blowing the doors off of every unsuspecting, uneducated challenger.

Okay, since I have been on this board for quite some time, and knowing people like Joe,Dennis and TTBoost are roaming around, bringing up an African Elephant was probably not my finest moment, but Dennis, I an shocked you would post a picture like this.... a new low, even for you!
