Both runs without NOS.
Measured with 5hz GPS in same place and almoust same weather conditions.

When I put speeds into weigh-trap speed-HP calculator I get rwd 490hp and awd 455hp
It's about 7% difference
Spot-on!

Wirx was the RWD swap done by just removing the driveshaft or did you convert to RWD completly by removing all the diff, etc..
