  Boiler Horse Power Explained
If all engines developed the same amount of power from an equal amount of heat, a boiler might be designated as one having a definite horse power, depending upon the amount of engine horse power its steam could would develop.
In order to establish a relation between the engine power and the size of a boiler required to develop that power, they recommended that an evaporation of 30 pounds of water from an initial temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit to steam at 70psig be considered as one boiler horse power.
The term boiler horse power, therefore, is clearly a measure of evaporation and not power.

 Horsepower loss through drivetrain
What this means is, to optimize power in an internal combustion engine you try to optimize the amount of “heat” (that is, the power created by internal combustion) to be transferred into the “push” process of the piston.
But the power measured at the drum DOES decrease, because all the drivetrain components (engine rotating and reciprocating masses, flywheel, trans gears and shafts, driveshaft, rear gears, axles, wheels and tires) all accelerate faster now (but in first gear, the starting and finishing speeds are much less compared to high gear).
Since it takes power to accelerate mass, the higher driveline component accelerations use up more power in first gear than high gear, and thus the available power at the dyno drum is decreased by the HP "robbed" in the vehicle drivetrain due to the higher driveline component accelerations.

 Horsepower - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In scientific discourse the term "horsepower" is rarely used because of the various definitions and the existence of an SI unit for power, the watt (W).

The change was meant to 'deflate' power ratings to assuage the auto insurance industry and environmental and safety lobbies, as well as to obfuscate the power losses caused by emissions-control equipment.
