Car Info: 2004 Subaru STI
Winner of the day (and possibly for the foreseeable future)... 391AWHP 375TQ on pump gas and a STOCK exhaust!
This car is FAR from anything else seen on this dyno but you'll have to talk to Ryan from Vakamon for more details on this setup..
ladies and gentlemen the bar has been set... again not that it matters... but if drivetrain loss were linear that is 476CHP!!!!! again on PUMP Gas and a STOCK STI Exhaust!!!

number crunching is addicting...stop me if you dont' want to know all this..
for manuals, I'm calculating for 18% drivetrain loss
for automatics, I'm calculating for 22% drivetrain loss
that means for a manual to break into 400CHP, AWHP has to be higher than 328
that maans for an automatic to break into 400CHP, AWHP has to be higher than 312
the higher the Drivetrain loss, the lower the AWHP dyno reading needs to be to indicate the 400CHP realm.
so far,... 2 participants have reported making the numbers that would indicate making 400 horsepower at the crank... more as I get more numbers/details.

Damn! you mean I missed the 400 chp club by 2 hp???......oh well not bad for a TD06 18G

*NOTE: Day 3 dyno runs were displayed with SAE Smoothing set to (3), set to (1), the numbers report higher. (so what you remember seeing may be lower)
**NOTE 2: Day 1 & 2 dyno runs were displayed with SAE Smoothing set to (0), set to (1), the numbers report lower (so what you remember seeing may be higher)
ALL dyno runs reported by OP (me - tazer) are with SAE Smoothing set to (1) for consistency.
Dyno runs numbers as recorded are able to be seen in the .zip attachment to this thread
