73 hp difference over 292 Dyno result equals 25%
Which is a 20% drivetrain loss, as he states.

Bingo! I think I see where we differ in perspective. The OP was referring to percentage increase over the Dyno number. Which to get a 25% 'increase' to get you that flywheel number, you would use 1.25. Since you don't technically know that 73hp difference, you have to use the percentage increase over the dyno number. Like I've said twice now. I never said you were wrong. It's a 20% loss over the flywheel number but 25% gain over the Dyno number. I think we're just mixing symantics when referring to 'drivetrain loss'.

you "correct" him and say that his 1.25 figure is 25%, when his reference is clearly to drivetrain loss.



If you had understood from the beginning, you'd have just agreed....

Drivetrain loss as in the actual hp number not the percentage decrease. It's the same number. You just had to go on your math rant.

This has gone on long enough. Agree to disagree. If your intent is just to call me out, I really don't care.

doesn't matter whether you were talking about absolute or percent...it is still a 20% loss.

You just had to keep insisting your flawed math was right.
