Don't worry about horsepower too much. Especially on stock imports, thats what the aftermarket is there for. If you're looking to increase your quarter mile time, taking weight off the car will be just as helpful as adding HP at this point. First things first, get yourself a CAI, and tighten up your throttle cable. The stock intake is very restrictive, and the cable have slack in them. Normally you wouldn't notice the small horsepower increase from the intake, but since it increases throttle response so much, its a nice difference. But anyway, i'm just babbling. Later

Nope, you're not wrong. 100% stock Beta motors have dyno'ed out at anywhere between 110 HP to 121 HP in 100% stock form. 10% Drivetrain loss would knock 140 Hp at the flywheel down to 126 at the wheels. 15% would knock it down to 119 at the wheels. 20% would take it down to 112 at the wheels.
Also...some motors are better from the factory, some are worse from the factory...so some motors come with only 121 HP at the crank...and some come with 154 at the crank just due to the parts used and the clearances used when putting the motor together. That is why Comparing my dyno's to say anyone elses dyno's is not 100% comparable. Also, from dyno to dyno, HP numbers can change.
If I got a say 10 HP increase from a CAI, you should expect the same PERCENTAGE increase from your engine, but not necessarly the same exact HP gain, but the same PERCENTAGE HP gain.
