A good tune might be helpful, but adding FI I think is like adding a new intake or exhaust. You are just adding to the base line and not increaing the base line number.

We're looking at about 18% loss to the ground on a 6MT Z. It's about 1% higher than a simple RWD manual car usually sees (about 17%). I can only assume it's the additional hardware/technology adding the 1% extra loss to the ground.

Again, you cant simply slap a percentage onto typical drive line loss...especially something as small as 1%? The variance there could be as simple as the fact that every car is different...

I agree. That's why I slapped a disclaimer on my reply. It's all ballpark so 1% here or there would be near impossible to find.
