I respect your opinions fellas, but keep in mind parasitic drivetrain loss is calculated as a percentage, not an absolute value.

Our cars stock make 200bhp, which comes out to 160-170whp...a 30-40hp loss, which is in line with the 15% rule. Now we're doubling the horsepower so guess what, double the losses. My number was being optimistic.
