Assuming drive train losses is a fixed percentage is incorrect. People often apply one to make their car look more powerful. An frs has about 30hp loss. If you double engine output power to 400hp, drive train losses will not be 60hp. Doesn't happen; gearboxes and diffs do not double their friction coefficient with double torque. Also some of that 30hp is going to auxiliary equipment which os unaffected buy more engine power
