Default Actual horsepower?

I'm currently trying to work out what my actual HP is now I have run some times in my ED

Now I have weighed the car twice on 2 different weigh bridges as I thought the first reading was out, it just seems the cars a lot heavier than first thought. Its weighing in at 1610kg with me onboard, and my last dyno result was 382rwhp.

Its run a best of 11.49@121mph but its best mph has been 126mph so I have used some calculators to try and work out what its really making and it suggests 500hp at the crank. I thought this was a bit high considering the 382rwhp the dyno showed.

Does 500hp seem correct?
