Now you do a engine swap with a 3.6L engine that has maybe 330 HP. It will be in the same car with the same exact tranny, tires, everything. So, how much HP to the wheels? 330- 36= 294 HP or 330-15% (50 hp) = 280??
I think 280, but of course, I didn't finish engineering school. I went a different route.
