JGT, realize that 260 rating is at the crankshaft. When we begin modding our cars we test for horsepower at the wheels. Because of the parasitic loss caused by the engine needing to turn the gears in the transmission, the axles, hubs, and finally tires/wheels, 100% of that power does not make it to the ground. Most experts in our community place our drivetrain loss at around 15-20%. Thus if you see someone on here saying they have 300 HP they mean they have 300 wheel horsepower. That would be apx 350-375 crank horsepower. Your 260 crank hp winds up being apx. 208-221 wheel hp.

I got such a hard on reading that...I love it when you use those big, sexy words.
