Very cool stuff.
Interestingly enough in the world of driveline losses, Corky Bell's
thought from his latest book, Supercharged! are as follows...
Driveline losses are constant and not a percentage. Figure out what the
loss is with a stock motor, and even if you add power (supercharging it
in this instance) your loss does not go up, but remains the same as the
originally calculated figure (because you know what stock power is, and
you know what you measured at the wheels). He contends that the
driveline losses do not change, because you didn't change anything in
the driveline.
Very interesting. I have always assumed it varied (i.e. a percentage).
Then agian, I haven't done much research as it pertains to before /
after driveline losses.
Don't bust by balls here, just passing along something I found
interesting.
