Yup, your math sucks......340 whp = 88% of crank hp assuming 12% driveline loss......so crank hp = 340 x 100/88 = 386 hp.

Drivetrain loss in RWD and FWD cars is about 15-17%
Drivetrain loss in AWD cars is about 23-25%
EVOs come from the factory rated 276HP and produce 210-215WHP on the Dyno .... that's about 24% drivetrain loss ....
But then again Dynojets are know to read higher .... if someone could post what a stock EVO reads of a Dynojet, we can figure out what 300WHP on a Dynojet equals to at the flywheel ...

Thanks.
Thanks.
I am glad you ask because I have the correct answer and no bull****.
I go with what the professionals tested, you specifically mentioned that your car made 340WHP on a Dynojet 424X AWD Dyno.
This is the definition of that Dyno used on Motor and trend when they compared the STI and the 05MR:
We tested the STi and MR , this is a inertia-type dyno, which means the car rotates in two 2500lbs rollers(front and rear) instead of fighting against some artificial resistance like electric brake or hydraulic pressure.
This Dyno is capable of correcting:ambient temp,barometricpressure and humidity using SAE formulas.
Summarizing:
a 05 MR rated at 276hp made 239whp and 248lb/tq on the 424x Dyno
so your 340whp on that dyno equals 392.6HP to the crank
By the way, the STI rated at 300HP made 233WHP and 249lb/tq on the same dyno

Last but not least, for the first time in many many years, the prestigious European magazine Automovil tested the European EVO8 obatining a cranck hp reading of 311HP from a "280hp" factory rated EVO 8
