Craig,

In your example, the 250 hp engine loses 37.5 hp going through the drive line. The 500 hp engine loses 75 hp going through the same drive line. Doesn't make any sense to me either. It seems that drive train loss should be a fixed hp number (+ or - a few %).

Like JO says...rwhp and torque is useful info...crank hp is really only good for bragging rights.
