How "EASY" is 800hp N/A LS build?
Respect? Show some respect Smoke yourself. This certainly isn’t the first time you’ve went down a rabbit trail while indulging in adult beverages and left handed cigs. You make zero sense when you write like this and there is absolutely no technical anything added to the discussion. Lots of guys end up mad and you in reality are embarrassing yourself. Ask your brother there to turn your device off your typing on til you sober up. Your better than this Smoke.

So, i was talkn with Darth couple days ago, n im alil more confused than before on drivetrain loss? How are you guys calculating it. I thought it was a percentage of sorts. His math works out alil better in 700hp area. But its defly not linear answer. Just curious on some of your thoughts. I get its easy to figure out an exact percentage once you see rwhp numbers. But where one formula works, its totally off on another set up. I thought a 700hp ish build with a 4l80e n ford 9" would lose about 20%. I figure converter slip will also have huge factor.
Now, if you start changing transmissions (auto from manual), convertor in an auto,diff, rear axle ratios, etc. , you can be introducing additional drive line losses.

On the driveline loss I think Lingenfelter did some test on a C6 Z06 and say it was 65 hp or 13% on a 505 hp motor. They saw it was not 65 hp through a higher HP motor but say on a 700 hp motor it might have been an 80 hp (say 11%-12%) loss even with same drivetrain. It has to due with more torque motor puts out the more frictional loss as the torque is digging harder into the trans and rear gears thus creating more friction. I think it is like a mix of fixed and variable losses.

Did some cleaning up on this one.
This is a tech section so let's keep things on track going forward, otherwise we'll just have to shut this one down.
