i was using it as a rule of thumb, because i've seen many others do it aswell. would the power lost raise by a factor to the power being made? or is it actually a set amount?

If you are using an auto it really depends on the stall converter you are using. However if you are using a manual it doesnt change. Driveline loss is a bit of a misunderstood thing amongst people. Trying to use a % of lose is very hard. Reason is say you make 500 hp with one engine and you work on the 20% rule then rwhp shold be about 400hp. Now you decide to change the motor but keep the same driveline and you now make 800hp atfw, so you use the same 20% loss rule and you now make a supposed 640 rwhp. but its the same driveline so how can it use another 60 hp? It cant, it still takes the same amount of power to drive the gearbox and diff as before.

There you go clear as mud:P

I decided to drop some more skids to embarrass him as he got out of the car lol. It was right after I told him he was full of shit about some track times he quoted at QR! Sif a S15 with about $30k spent on it will be slower than a skyline! unless they spend 30k on lead weights!

P.S are you teh liz that bought my gtr fuel pump?

I've had a friend 'donate' their hand controller to me for experimentation on changing the lights inside. I've seen a blue faced power fc, someone had changed the lights, so I am going to test it out on this donated one. If I am succesful, i'll do it to ours, and john's too :)
