Why did Dodge advertise the wheel HP instead of an estimated crank HP? I have no idea, and I don't know if it is public knowledge, but I know they responded to the questions by "raising" the published HP the next year even though power output wasn't changed.

As for The Evo having more actual power than advertized (if I remember correctly) , is because of penalties or regulations for cars exceding a certain HP rating. You will see a bunch of Jap cars with about the same HP 286 or something. Evo's, Skyline's, Supra's and NSX's. I'm sure there are a few more around this magical number. The reason most street bikes have a top speed restricter is because the manufacturers dont want to start getting there HP regulated, so they put the top speed limiters in to keep regulations off them. Most cars on the other hand have top speed restrictors set according to the "Factory" tire ratings.

I'm gonna guess that it was done on a DynoJet?
My IX was also hella properly broken-in...never above 3500RPM,etc. Bone stock from the factory, it dynoed in at 244 HP,235 lbs TQ.

This weekend at Vivid Racing, Al from Dynoflash tuned a IX, the baseline runs netted a best of 250HP. Both our cars were dynoed on Mustang dynos.
Nice numbers though!
