230wtq x 1.20 = ~276tq

Then using that 1.20 to finish out, their final numbers would be:

340whp x 1.20 = 408hp
260wtq x 1.20 = 312tq

Is this the wrong approach?
I think that's right and closer to the truth.

350hp (per Nissan)/292whp (dyno)= x(approx. hp @ flywheel)/340whp (dyno)
x=407.53 hp @ the crank.

Still pretty good numbers even if the dyno reads high. You can inflate the numbers, but you should only be looking at the difference from the baseline anyways. My understanding was, that the 48whp increase from baseline is more important than the actual hp reading on the dyno.

This a link on there for determining the numbers they used.

Seems kind of odd. It would mean most stock non-Nismo's should have numbers closer to 345hp at the flywheel.
