NUTCASE said:I don't think the whole % thing on drivetrains is all that accurate. it might work out if you have say, 300hp. but lets say you put a 800hp motor on the same drivetrain. I just don't see how the same trans is now going to soak up like 70 more hp just becouse you got a bigger motor. same thing with the drive shaft. how is a ds that soaks up lets say 25hp on a 100hp car now all of a sudden going to soak up 100hp just becouse you went to a 400hp motor
I don't remember where I saw it but someone was doing a study on that not too long ago. They dynoed a bunch of combo's and when they were done the % was the most acurate way to determine power loss at any power level. I will look around and see if I can find it and post a link.
