Presumably, on an engine dyno.

Then we might wonder whether they're claiming ps units (probably) or hp units, which is a bit different (ps units are a few % lower).

Then again, there's usually additional fudge factors either to round up (selling point) or under rate (happier customers when they go to chassis dynos) that are applied behind the scenes.

Only way to really know is to break-in the motor, make sure all is good, remove it and put it on an engine dyno.

Oh, and it's allegedly 332 bhp
whoops lol. Anyway, from what ive heard there is a 15% loss from whp to crank. so 370 crank hp i dont see too hard to get to... I mean, if the nismo has 350 stock, and you add the standard bolt ons, i would think it would be over this mark. (This is not a nismo vs .... thread. I just used the nismo cuz it is closer to the 370 hp mark...)
