All these articles are in gross/crank engine dyno horsepower. That means nothing to me. Maybe i've been playing with Mustangs too long, but i want to know what its doing in NET HP or RWHP.



Got it, so why does it have to be in the context of this particular motor and build? Parasitic loss is going to be the same percentage regardless of what motor is in front of it. Get the percentage based loss of the accessories you're looking to run and apply it to your gross number.

I don't know what accessories eat up, but for drive line loss I see 15 and 18 percent tossed around a lot for manual and automatic respectively.
