Very interesting read. Didn't see this posted so thought I'd share.

Motor1 : 2021 Ford Bronco V6 Dyno Test Shows Impressive Numbers At The Wheels.
https://www.motor1.com/news/529339/ford-bronco-v6-dyno-run/
What a bunch of clowns.
Let me quote them:
“From the factory, this engine in the Bronco has a rating at 310 horsepower (231 kilowatts) and 400 pound-feet (542 Newton-meters) of torque. On the dyno, it puts down 284.99 hp (212.5 kW) at 4,620 rpm and 383.77 lb-ft (520.3 Nm) at 3,630 rpm.”
“ This works out to a drivetrain loss of just 8.07 percent for the horsepower and 4.06 percent for the torque. These numbers are impressive and might hint at the V6 making more power at the crankshaft than Ford's factory numbers suggest.“


Yet the number they use for factory performance is the old one (310HP and 400 torque), the true numbers are 315HP and 415 torque. So the actual drivetrain loss is 13.6% for HP and 7.5% for torque.
So no, the V6 does not make more power than what Ford suggests.

310/400 on regular fuel and 330/415 on premium fuel right?

I believe that is right.

330hp is for the 91/93 octane fuel.

I’m not good at math but we may need to see your work on this one.

Also Hennessy would never fudge numbers. Never! :p
