A4 or M6?

M6 is 7-8%, A4 tends to be 10-12%. Automatics make a mess of everything, so don't take those as hard numbers.

People quote it at being 15%, but that is way high for a modern T-56.

15% is close enough for our purposes.

The correction factor is actually pretty useless though, unless you're on an engine dyno you won't really know.

That's why we only talk RWHP here. Those are the only numbers that matter
