Default help with bhp figures

can someone help me cause i'm a dunce

went for a remap yesterday and according to what i've just worked out i got 353.3bhp.
i calculated the torque figure which was 278 by the rpm figure which was 6676 and then divided it by 5252. is this right or am i just plain stupid?

Torque = HP X 5252/rpm

So 353.3 X 5252 / 6676 = 277.9 lb/ft torque

the torque figure was 278 and from pete's working out above, does this show that the bhp figure i worked out is right?

Bear in mind also that this wont be your peak torque figure, that will come in lower down the rev range around 4000rpm

For example if you power was 300HP @ 4000 rpm then your torque is 393 lb/ft.

Opps sorry - I though you were trying to work out torque - do'h. Just read the post properly and you were calulcating power from torque

HP = Torque X rpm/ 5252

So

HP = 278 X 6676 /5252 = 353 BHP

In other words, yes , you were right
