Wheel HP is how much power the motor is putting down connected to components such as the transmission which delivers the power to the shafts and then to the wheels.
An accurate estimation of how much your getting to the ground is determined by a Dyno.
Dyno's are never more then 5% off unless operator error. Scenarios change often. More or less weather conditions dictate how much a car can put out in that run.

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engine's horsepower without the loss in power caused by the gearbox, generator, differential, water pump and other auxiliaries. Thus the prefix "brake" refers to where the power is measured: at the engine's output shaft, as on an engine dynamometer. The actual horsepower delivered to the driving wheels is less. An engine would have to be retested to obtain a rating in another system. The term "brake" refers to the use of a band brake to measure torque during the test (which is multiplied by the engine speed in revs/sec and the circumference of the band to give the power).

i used a dremel to cut a rectangular hole in the 6 inch pipe closest to the manifold....it is underneath the intake so it is hidden pretty well.....below is a pic of the MAF sensor
It actually looks different now because i added a rubber reducer to make a tighter fit to the throttle body

I think that something a lot of people don't realize is that dynometers are used to tune cars moreso than to tell thier power.
Horsepower is a very vague thing to measure. If you send a letter to the government saying "I need exactly 1 pound of something so I can calibrate my scales" they'll send you a pound of sand or something. If you say "send me something with 1 horsepower to calibrate my dynometer" they're gonna be like ummm... The reason is that there never really was a clear and definite "horsepower". Then I think it was about 30 years ago or so there was a motorcycle made that supposedly had 10 hp and they used that as a benchmark for making dynometers.
But regardless to how or where horsepower was defined, dynos should only be used for tuning because of the fact that there are too many varying factors in cars. You can dyno a car 30 times in a row and never get the same results because of this. (but they should be around the same area). Dynos should be used for tuning in that you can tell when you did something right or wrong by noticing power jumps and by jumps I mean 5-10 hp not 1-2. I'm rambling on now so I'll shut up and hope that someone made sense of this.

112 isint right. a kid i no has a 03 cavalier eco motor and it put down 125whp and 125 torque and it had a cat back and intake also was auto with 45K on the car. my sunfire 2.2 OHV put down 82hp and 108 torque.
