I suspect people are multiplying by 1.15, but that's incorrect. You have to divide by .85 since the 15% figure relates to the original crank value, not the WHP.

the 15% number is always bandied about as what it is , but probably inaccurate these days as transmissions are more efficient. they all have lock up clutches etc. I am not sure what the real number would but that rule of thumb 15% is probably not an accurate rule of thumb these days
