So your engine is outputting right about 200 hp
What am I missing?

...Ah, don't be mad, but you're using the wrong equation there.
you can't multiply the dependent variable by a percentage to get the starting number. Do the proof, that equation isn't reversible. We aren't calculating a 13 percent increase from 174, we're reversing a 13 percent loss to solve for x.
to reverse a 13 percent loss, you would divide the 174.6 by .87, and end up with 200.69 HP, and a reversible, provable equation.
Anyway, you're still right about the 200HP thing. More so, in fact.
Anyway, I'm not here to argue about dyno settings. The only correct answer to any of that is bring a slip. Show the ET. That'll prove a few things, including whether or not a person has the skill to use any of the power their dyno queen makes.
