On my print out, The wheels figure is quite a bit less! I will try & find the print out & check.

there'll be less bhp at the wheels mate, due to transmission losses ect.

at the fly sounds better as it makes out you have more power, plus its slighty more accurate as noone really konws the exact % loss due to transmission, its just a guess
