Your right, some energy loss is constant regardless of the over all power. Like your coolant and oil pumps.. However some losses are added and or proportionally increasing with adding FI, additional turbines, bearings, etc.
Unfortunately I don't see anyone testing the BHP output of a FI'd motor anytime soon. The best case is just a constant loss of around 60hp would be like 560bhp worst would be like 610bhp. Something in the in between would be most likely the best guess.
