Dude, you built yourself plain vanilla ROW 3.0 CIS car....one of those 204hp ones. Believeing you have 240hp+ on CIS and stock cams is wishfull thinking. Nothing wrong with 200hp either.
Drivetrain loss figures of 34% are laughable and most certainly not correct. It makes you believe you have a powerful engine though. Figures for Porsche 915 transaxle vary from 9% to 15%. 34% losses @ 240hp would imply a heat loss of 60kW inside transmission...imagine heating up your tranny with 60kW heater, that thing would glow after any longer full-power run.
In the end, only thing that matters is what reaches the road...you might as well say that you have 1000hp engine and 83% drivetrain loss if it makes you feel better...you are pedalling forward with 170hp and that's what there is.
