500 RWHP = 557.5 at the flywheel

There are two ways to calculate that. I don't know which way is correct, I use the more conservative calculation.
500 + 15% = 575BHP(conservative)
500 divided by .85 = 588 BHP
Good luck,

We have it from reliable sources that the Gen2 driveline loss is 12.7%. Gen1? Say 13-13.2%.

Which puts you at 573 fwhp.

Tom,
You have to divide by .85 (although I beleive dividing by .88 is more accurate) Think of it this way:
You have X HP at the flywheel. Using your drive line loss number of 15%, at the wheels you have X - (X * 0.15).
588 - (588 * 0.15) = 500 HP
or
500 / 0.85 = 588 HP
The difference is that you lose 15% of the flywheel HP, not 15% of the rear wheel HP.
