Please don't use 'power' as it seems to confuse so many on here. The term
is BHP - brake horse power.


No - the correct term *is* power when talking about that commodity. BHP
is just one of the units in which it is measured - along with kW and PS.

Just as "speed" is a valid term - or velocity if you also want to
specify the direction of travel - regardless of whether you are
measuring it in MPH, KPH, FPS, etc.
