Sorry but our cars have ~12-13% drivetrain loss (MT).
Your peak wheel HP shows up as 174.6

174.6 * 1.13 = 197.3 HP
So your engine is outputting right about 200 hp

What am I missing?
(Hint: 'drag power' is way too high @ 41 hp).
41 hp of drivetrain loss on a engine hp of 216 is 19% loss

See what I mean about "tweaking dyno settings" to show power where it isnt?
And thats without being able to see any of the Rotating mass numbers.
