Default Dyno numbers question

I was at a Corvette dyno day today and it got me wondering about something.
How much difference(loss) is there with an A6 vs. a 6-speed on the dyno?
2 bone stock cars(C6's) -- i was hoping there is someone who has seen or has some experience with back-to-back pulls on the same dyno, same day.

Also, obviously dyno numbers can vary quite a bit, what a range that you would expect an 06 A6 and an 06 6-speed to dyno at?


Thanks,

Geoff

Man - 340 - 345

Auto - 320 - 325

Obviously those are very general numbers but fairly representative of what has been posted on the forum for the 05-07's.

Manual 6 spd = 340 to 345 RWHP
Auto 6spd. = 330 to 335 RWHP

Aprx. 10 RWHP to have the auto trans shift the car for you.

That is the range that I would expect for an LS2 car. The LS3 cars appearto be showing less loss through the drivetrain.
