There is no single percentage of drivetrain loss. Unless you pull your motor and put it on an engine dyno, you CANNOT accurately determine crank horsepower from wheel horsepower. I would guess that a bone stock SOHC RS would make 105-110 whp on Paul's dyno, but to my knowledge there's never been one on it.

Nope. I figured a set of 3 would be difficult to sell...

Is it open to newbies too? I don't even pick up my STi until next weekend. Not a thing done to it yet so no need to dyno, but I figure I'll show up to check out the cars and the shop.

Hey Paul,

I'll try to make it to the shindig. I have one tune scheduled for that saturday, so I'll probably make it out by 2-3... hope the festivities will still be going

Thanks

T-Will, we could nitrous in a bag your Saturn and find the limits of that stock GM bottom end... at least 50-60 hp.
