You have to remember that a rolling road (aka an engine brake) can only give you an at the wheel measurement and give you a best estimate at the flywheel power factoring a transmission loss. Hence why it is Brake Horse Power (deduced from an engine brake reading) not Horse Power (factual output).

I currently run a stage 1 T3 which is my limiting factor, I only run it at 10psi. My car makes 162 BHP at the flywheel but only 132 BHP at the wheel. The general figure people throw around is the flywheel figure.

Sorry,just read that again,I meant 194 bhp ATF,roughly 160 atw.
And a standard cam won't do 200bhp ever.
