This is why the AT and MT make about the same power on the dyno (I believe the AT is like ~1-2% less efficient than the MT, which is nothing)

Read more about AT's here Howstuffworks "How Automatic Transmissions Work"

I really hope this is not true considering when I was on the Dyno they recorded 248 rwhp (stock baseline) Which means a 25% tranny loss... I really doubt the 6MT has that much. Or perhaps is the issue because they ran the Dyno in 3rd gear... Someone Dyno smart on the 7AT please tell me thats not the gear you dyno it in...?!
