the transmission loss will be down to the silly way Dastek dynos calibrate the coastdown figures. they are great dynos, used a couple myself but they always give big coastdown figures.

thats a 25% transmission loss

yes, fly figure will be out due to the way the coastdown losses are calculated. more likely to be about 140-145 bhp. all dynos are different though, look at the graph, its a very smooth one so the bhp is irrelevat, 5-10 bhp wont make much difference on the road.

I reckon calculated flywheel figures should be banned, then there would be no confusion/complaining

Exhaust manifold should definitely be done ASAP, without a doubt
