Jump from 100 HP to 200 HP .
There will be no added 10 hp added loss.
SEE?
That's what I am saying....these arbitrary numbers floating around....
Just changing HP can not cause more drag.

Simplify. Remember High School Physics? u= coefficient of friction. It was always expressed as a fraction or decimal, same as a percentage, and was constant. f=uF.
Logically, think of resistance in the gearbox as friction. Friction causes gearbox/fluids to heat up. More heat, more loss. If you put 10HP on a 915 gearbox, it will likely barely raise the temps. 500HP and it will get hot, cook fluid, and self-destruct. So yes, % loss may be similar, but with more HP there will be more (frictional)Loss, as noted in raised temps.
