Bingo! I think I see where we differ in perspective. The OP was referring to percentage increase over the Dyno number. Which to get a 25% 'increase' to get you that flywheel number, you would use 1.25. Since you don't technically know that 73hp difference, you have to use the percentage increase over the dyno number. Like I've said twice now. I never said you were wrong. It's a 20% loss over the flywheel number but 25% gain over the Dyno number. I think we're just mixing symantics when referring to 'drivetrain loss'.
