does all the HP from nitrous go to wheels or is there a loss?
i am running a 75 shot nitrous kit on my car. i know a normal motor has like 20% loss from total crank hp compared to wheel hp. but is it the same for nitrous or would all that 75 hp go to wheels?

so basically i could just add the motors crank hp + the 75 for the nitrous and then take away the 20% loss to get an estimate.

if you are bench racing, yeah. btw, the rule of thumb is 15% loss for fwd, 20% rwd, 25% awd. Don't consider it accurate though, only a dyno can give you real numbers.
