hmmm, firstly 160 X 1.4 is closer to 220 than 240hp! then im
thinking drivetrain loss would be more than 20-40 hp (maybe 20-
30%) so i am thinking steven's 180 would be much closer.......
matters little really because the supposed "actual" figure depends
upon so many variables that it kinda makes its measurement
irrelevant except for making back to back comparisons-only power
that matters is on road
