Depending on what driveline loss factor, the R50 is conservatively showing 400 HP and over 410 ft. lbs. TQ at the crank. The higher TQ comes from the benefit of HEADERS I installed, where as the original R50 was without. Dynojet run from 2006 on a cool morning. The dip at 3800 RPM, peak torque, is from a VANOS issue that was later solved after the timing rails were done, during which I installed two new VANOS units Recent dynojet completed during a warm afternoon, which limited the peak HP due to the DME retarding timing and richening fuel a bit.
