Your engine is rated "at the flywheel"

which is the engine output before drivetrain loss. Transmissions, differentials, etc are all imperfect machines, and they dissipate some of the power that goes through them.

HP "at the wheels" is what's left of the power "at the flywheel" after going through all the stuff that connects the two.
