Rwhp to flywheel difference ?

What is the diff. between the two

On the dyno it says 616 hp and 458 torque

I'm gonna order a act clutch and i know they are rated by torque to the flywheel.

What would be my flywheel torque ?

530 tops is my guess at a 15% drivetrain loss rate.

25% difference.

all depends on weight in the drive line.
so carbon fiber drive shaft would make it less, light weight flywheel would make it less, so on and so on.

It's the dyno off kgparts for the R85, I probably won't have that much hp, but just using it as a base to figure out what I need for a clutch. I do plan on running 26 lbs of boost, and have twin supra pumps and methanol injection. Just finished my rebuilt motor and installing the rest of the supporting mods.

Thanks for the help, I'll go with a clutch that can hold 530 tq.

carbon driveline advantages are negligible.
