203 Engine hp, yes if the dyno didnt read so high.
You are thinking engine HP, BHP is the way a EC dyno tunes. It had a brake on the drum, it measures power at the wheel at a certian drum/wheel speed.
Think of driving your car with your foot on the brake maintaining 20mph at 20% throttle. Lets say it takes 25hp to maintain that speed. Now floor the throttle (100%) but maintain 20mph. You will have to 'brake' harder to keep that speed. You may be making 50hp now but you are braking harder, hence BHP. Measured at the tire or at the flywheel, it dosent matter. The state of tune and the improvement is what matters.
