If so, where do you think that power is going? Drivetrain losses are the power (or more precisely torque) used up to move those components. They don't suddenly become harder to move because you've got a more powerful engine. OK so there may be more friction and tyres pressures at play, but is that really enough to lose 50hp or more?

Edit.... I see you changed your reply as I wrote mine

Yes I did lol

I decided to use my brain a bit more before leaving the thread, and I can definitely see where you're coming from now.
