[s-cars] 80tq: 20v Project Update, 415whp, 12.25, etc

[Mark Strangways]

Add another data point..
Some one pull their high HP motor already and put it on a engine dyno.
I would love to see a comparison that way.

I would also love to know if a 200 WHP engine losses the same drivetrain and 
friction losses thru the drive line as a 400 WHP.
I really wonder if using a percentage to approximate driveline loss is 
really the way to go.
