Well, maybe. The driveline efficiency on your Nissan and on a Dodge Ram won't be the same. In fact, I'm sure the Nissan has a better driveline efficiency than a Ram does...meaning you can't really slap a generic number like "26%" on to get crank power. You are right in that the only real way to tell is dynoing the engine itself and not being conservative on the results (not to mention any names, NISSAN). Or for an interesting project, put the 5.6 Endurance engine in place of the Dodge Hemi and compare RWHP of the Ram with the Hemi engine and the Endurance engine. THAT would be apples to apples!
