Drivetrain loss?
Anyone know what % a typical bonneville loses before it puts the power to the ground? The % difference typical between crank hp and torque and wheel hp and torque?
I've heard as high as 25%, but don't see much out there on it.

The power at the crank and the power to the ground are totally different, now imagine lesser cars with WAY less torque...only getting double digits to the ground

Very interesting. On my Aurora when I dynoed it I figured and many others that a Northstar weither 4.0 Aurora or 4.6 caddy will lose 24% through a 4t80-e tranny. My baseline dyno was 190HP at wheels =250 crank. I'm sure Jim liked this little fact.
