I should also point out that to quantify any of this data, you need to find the graph in a certified report which also shows things like air intake temperature, atmospheric pressure and coolant temperature as it was under that test.
Here is the article that the picture is from:Off-Road Adventures Magazine It is a tornado engine it is also not FI. The BMEP is in PSI (150psi=10Bar). Second I am not comparing your engine to this. The picture is simply to show that most info I do have is taken at WOT.

I have used a chassis dyno several times but I don't calculate flywheel power as I am more interested in the power that actually moves the car (wheel power).

I didn't Again I posted that picture to show that the info I have is taken at WOT.
