% of HP loss from engine to wheels with an A4
Thought this would be a really easy question for the smartest people on the planet........Corvette owners!
I need to figure the percentage of HP loss from the engine to the rear wheels if I have an A4. Say if I have 402 HP at the wheels, what is the HP at the flywheel?

Thank you gentlemen. I believe that puts me at 502 HP (wtih -20% est.) or 490 HP (with -18% est.), not bad for a H&C job on a LS1.

Flywheel HP is .82 divided into the RWHP for a A4 and for the M6 .88 divided into RWHP for flywheel HP..18% for the A4 and 12% for the M6...roughly

I run a 402 ls2 motor with A4 stg4 built and 3000 stall.
the stall robs me about 20rwhp and A4 18% loss, but I still dyno 480rwhp 450tq. That would put me 610 to the engine.
