Here's a link to a thread that seems to demonstrate that at least on higher applications (490 rwhp in this case) the loss for an A4 is only 17.2% - just FYI.

The most commonly used rule of thumb is 15% on the 6spds. Since you have a 6spd (as all FRCs do) that is a resonable number. Only way to know for certain would be to compare engine dyno numbers to a chassis dyno's numbers.

As noted by LoneStarFRC above, this will tell what you want to know, but don't put TOO much stock in a dyno number.
