drivermod said:I've seen all different levels of drivetrain loss even with similar combo's on the same dyno. 40% is not uncommon with some of these offroad vehicles but his is likely more efficient and isn't really losing 40%. For instance, Todd Puckett's Silencer buggy only put down around 180 hp to the tire but he's running a heavily warmed over supercharged 3.8 that's well over 300 hp. Probably closer to 400 hp at the crank. Lot's of variables come into play on a chassis dyno.

To clarify that's on engine dyno not a chassis dyno

Jwhit55 said:I've been curious about this also? I don't run a ls or anything but people saying they're running a built 6.0 that's got 700+hp for the cost of barely anything has had me curious. I guess the sound of open headers make at least 200hp!! Lol.. I run a small block 460 Windsor with the best parts out there and now what it costs to get close to that number! Mine makes good power throughout the power band and only drops about 10hp around 8500 but is constantly building torque
