[QUOTE="badmpg03, post: 16329910, member: 179522"] agreed, Is a good read Tt335 had great explanation as well and all of that makes sense to me. But for the sake of discussion - 2 identical cars - Only difference being n20 . I get more pressures, friction, etc, does that stay at a constant rate? . I guess to simply my original question - if xx% loss is standard with xx car, would the percentage stay consistent if the only factor added was HP? OR does it take a certain HP/TQ to power the drivetrain alone, and then a much large percentage of the power made by the motor is making it to the wheels, and the percentage adjusts. So In my example an 800 hp car is no longer seeing 15% drivetrain loss, like the 500 hp car, but more like 10-11% since the only thing that was added was n20?? I think I more or less got the answer to my question What prompted this I was talking with someone about dyno numbers and they were very quick to say - “yeah you make 840whp .... that’s like 960 at the motor”....well that assumes my car is still having an assumed ~15% loss at these power levelS....I was not convinced that was 100% accurate anyway I think I get It overall Thanks for the replies gentlemen [/QUOTE]
