Steve,
I think you mean that torque is directly proportional to manifold pressure,
not equal to manifold pressure.

Hi Gordon...
You said std. day, 2450 rpm's and 900 msl... 260 hp IO-540...
HP=(RPM*Torque)/5252
RPM=2450
Torque = MP
2450 rpm's is .907 % of max rpm's
900 msl is about 29" of MP= .969 % of max MP(rule of thumb torque)
.907*.935=.848 % of total HP
HP=.848*260
HP=228.67
That's about 230HP give or take... At take off, Wide open throttle...
Best... Steve

Steve, how did you estimate that HP? Gordon.
