Now along comes Rod's engine modifications, and suddenly the cars
driveline is consuming 502.4 bhp - 376.6 = 125.6.  That's a difference
of
@ 69 bhp within an otherwise identical driveline.  Isn't bhp just
another
way to say "Heat" i.e., calories?  The conversion program I have
tells me 69 bhp = 12,300 calorie/second =  2,928.7 BTU/minute.

Isn't that an awful lot of additional heat the driveline alone has to
absorb?

Mike, Mike, Mike.....

It aint just the driveline that dissapates the heat.
