Pickles. Is power loss in the drivetrain always a percentage of engine hp/torque that scales with the engine or does it take a fixed amount of effort to turn the drivetrain at a given rpm/gear? In other words would a 1000 hp engine give up 250 hp to turn the driveline based on a 25% loss factor; a 500/125; 100/25 and so on or do all engines start with a -X loss due to the hp/torque required to turn the drivetrain?
