One dyno could read 340 for an M2, another could read 320. These dynos cost upwards of $100k. You'd think they would be surgically accurate uniformly across the board. I'm done bitching. I'll take Dinan's word for it....360 bhp for stock, 446 for P2 package, add 30 for the 200 cell DP and viola...476 bhp is what I'll tell people.

i only use bhp if i'm talking to someone who knows nothing about cars because i don't feel like explaining the difference to them and i'm sure they don't care. when i'm talking to a fellow car enthusiast or modder though i don't ever use anything other then what i make at the wheels. a dinan p2 pack with a fabspeed sportcat will make around 380/390wheel. You can probably get away with just saying 400wheel to make your life easier. or if you wanna be "that guy" you can say 475 and then explain yourself
