Engine hp vs rwhp / torque?
Engine hp vs rwhp / torque?
Okay, so I know that there is a loss in hp going from the engine to the wheels. But what is the generally accepted loss in percentage.
And also, would there be a similar loss in percentage when talking about torque (always wondered about this but have never asked).

For F-bodies, approximately 15% for auto trans and 12% for manual trans.

Okay...
so if the dyno said my car was putting out 375 lb/tq, that's a real 375 lb/tq?

I've always assumed that dyno's give you your to the wheels hp/torque but I may be wrong.

dyno #s are nice but what it runs on the track really matters. from what some one said on this site " its just basically bragging rights"
