Message	I agree, Nissan can afford an engine dyno... or 10, which is likely where they got the number 473, right? Good call, because the engine dyno number in the pic is the estimated calculation of the computer after being dynoed at the wheels, 520.5 engine with 457.7 at the wheels. My point, as is yours, is Nissan likely does have an actual engine dyno, which is where they get their number 473. I would trust that number before I trusted a computer calculation used for the average vehicle based upon average drivetrain loss when given the hp at the wheels. Cheers, JBrobst
