Default Flywheel hp?

I've been wondering the same myself. Well not this specifically, but more just drivetrain loss in F-bodies.

So what is the drivetrain loss % so we can do our own math?

15% or so...say 12-18% conservatively.

So my engine has ~380/391 at the crank with nothing but a lid and full exhaust? That sounds pretty high, but cool!

(My car puts 330/340 to the wheels)

So does everyone agree that 15% is the drivetrain loss on F-bodies? (given you still have the 10 bolt)
