Default Math guys: how to calculate crank hp from wheel hp?

It's been a long time since I took algebra...how would I get my crank hp from my whp? I am at 171.4hp and 124.7tq, what does that translate to at the crank?

Wheel horsepower is usually around 15% less then crank horsepower on a front wheel drive car.

use your stock dyno value to work out the coefficient with your 195HP and times the new reading of your dyno after modification.
{195/(stock dyno value)} x {your after mod dyno value}

Would the calculation differ if you used a dyno which bolts up to the hub vs a rolling road dyno????
