The dyno measure rear wheel horsepower. So you would have to add the
drivetrain loss to get the factory 250 HP. If Dodge's 250 Horse power rating
is true and my calculations are correct... Swede's R/T has about 32% drive
train loss... awful! For me too as I own an R/T. It should be somewhere around
18%... from what I recall.
