83% makes it to the wheels. Or 17% is lost.


So lets say you modded it to output 500 WHP, working backwards is 602 BHP. Which is a hell of a lot of power for a production engine.
I'm not convinced that 17% loss is constant for 290whp and 500whp range of power. I think that loss is different at 500whp.
