don't really care of the mods just the real difference for the drive train loss.

Didn't they post some numbers in the one post about tuning an Auto C6? I tried finding the thread but couldn't find it. The search function didn't seem to be too helpful either as it didn't even find this thread when I put in LPE or Lingenfelter!

Default crank vs rwhp

with manuals it's about 15% loss, with autos it's about 20% loss. If you're making 500 crank hp, you rear wheel HP is 425HP.

to calculate: RWHP or TQ divided by .85= crank or flywheel HP or
flywheel HP X .85 = RWHP or TQ

I know that's what we've all been using but know one has ever posted a real chart of a raw engine then followed by the complete drive train to put it to bed once and for all. These guys did the engine and then were going to post the end results but I haven't found it.
