Ed,

Drivetrain loss is usually 17-22%, it can vary from car to car, even fluids used in your engine, transmission, and rear end, not to mention the transmission and rear end used in your vehicle. I have seen as little as 11% loss (circle track car using all sythetic fluids) to as much as 27% on a 302 crate engined Cobra replica. Do the math and you can find your high and low averages based on this.
