Drivetrain loss? Can we settle this? I have heard everything from 15-18% for a M6 car. And I have heard it's closer to "50hp". Can somebody who REALLY knows chime in here please? My last dyno I put down 308hp and it was 98 degrees and very humid in that shop last July. So where am I? My car is stock with just LM and Y pipe and a lid. There has to be some formula that we can use consistently. After I do my cam/headers/intake install I will do another dyno but I want to have a fairly accurate idea of what I have at the crank. Thanks in advance.

Why in the hell would you want to know how much power you make at the crank? 
You have the good number already...rwhp.
FWIW...I just use 15% for a ballpark since it makes no difference. You're around 350-360fwhp.

Guy asks a question and you guys jump all over him for no reason. Crank numbers can be impressive to anyone that doesn't know anything about cars not just ricers so let the man know if you know anything about the real calculations.

There seems to be all sorts of opinions about this. I was wanting someone to step up that really knew the answer to inform me. Guess that's not you--------JACKASS!
