Can't help putting my engineer hat on sometimes. I have been skeptical of the drivetrain power loss figures -- 50 to 75 hp, 20%, or whatever is often times claimed. Say you have a 350 hp engine and lose 20% for 280 rwhp. That is 70 hp loss. Each hp is approximately 750 watts. That is 52.5 kilowatts of power loss. Maybe the short duration of a dyno pull is the saving grace here.
