RWHP to BHP

I probably am not asking this correctly - but anyone have a rule of thumb for converting Dyno RWHP numbers to BHP numbers (those advertised by the manufacturers) - seemed to me it was somewhere around 14% increase (ie, 86 RWHP = 100 BHP) - thanks for any advice / thoughts

Most manf. claimed H.P. is at the flywheel not the brake. Factory Tech claims a 11% loss through our drivetrain. Hope this helps.

14% increase would be 100 to 114.... 14/86 > .14
