there was a long thread a while back on hp loss as being either a percentage or a fixed number. One argument was that the tranny isnt using more horsepower if you have more horsepower. I know for my A3 its around 37 hp loss. And i know the a4 is quite a bit less.

I dont want to start a big controversy but I'd say its going to be a fixed number not a percentage.

They explained exactly why but i'm not going to look for the mag nor do i remember.

Anyways i'm interested in this also could never really find an answer to exactly how much was eaten up on the A4 LS1's
