How much of my cars HP is really going to the wheels?
Roughly speaking because I've never dynoed it, but assuming that it were stock...
The car has 150K miles on it. 99 Accord V6 Coupe with the 200HP J30A1 engine. How much of that could I roughly assume is going to the wheels?
How 'bout then assuming that I have an Injen short ram installed?

20% of 200 is 40
30% of 200 is 60
With a reduction of 20-30% Hp it converts to 140-160Whp. YeuEmMaiMai's estimate of 152 is right in the middle.

Re: How much of my cars HP is really going to the wheels?
actually over at v6performance.net and used to be on comptech's site was a stock dyno run of anywhere from 148whp-154whp with most of them at 152whp.
the j30a1/2 lack low end torque and that is the major reason it really does not "feel" like it is 200hp....but it is according to the standards used at the time. get a 6th gen above 40 and it goes like a rocket.....
