Actually, you didn't. It was more correct to begin with. Actual flywheel/crank numbers would be higer for an Auto than they would for a manual. An auto sucks more power than does a manual. As an example, 500chp through an auto might read 425wheel, while 500chp via a manual might read 440wheel.

The fact of the matter is that HP loss through the drive train is not linear. The faster the engine revs, the less loss through the drive. Consult your local Mechanical Engineer for further information.
That is all.

I'm not a mech. engr., so what you say is probable true. We are not looking at drivetrain loss at 2000, or 3000 or 4000 rpm.The dyno tests we use to compare max hp and max tq and the max hp usually occurs in the 5500 rpm range for stock cars and 6000-6500 for cammed cars. Most all the cars in this forum are in this range, and the hp loss on the ls2, ls3 and ls7 at peak hp is approx. 55 for manuals and 65 for autos. These are dynojet numbers are it works out very close for n/a engines. Any comments are always welcome.
