Default Drivetrain loss

Anyone know about how much the drive train loss is for a 6th gen accord with a 5-speed?

I see you got back from "Soggy Bottom Sound" ok (or did they think better of it and let you stand down?

Horsepower ratings are determined by S.A.E. measurements taken at the Crankshaft with all engine accessories installed ("Net"). Originally they used to take the "gross" hp ratings w/o the accessories. That's where you got those crazy numbers in the '70's.

What you're going to have to do is query around and find someone who's done a dyno run matching your requirement and do the math (so to speak)

LOL funny man. Well actually, I'm just wanting to see what kind of improvement I've made over stock. And since the dyno is wheel hp, it's difficult to compare the stock rating of 150hp at the crank.
