How do you figure you can use that number to a motor vehicle? I will bet that it is very close to 25hp if not more if you put your car on a dyno. That is the only way to tell. I'd love to see a graph with it off and on. The fact that your rpms jump up 250rpms while idling is a good sign it is greatly effecting your engine efficiency.
