David, looks like good numbers for the torque curve, just gotta solve that A/F prob...maybe call Holley Tech line?
I would believe 18 to 22% for your total driveline loss, maybe even 25%, but not much higher, do ya think?

And on rereading my last post, on the Mustang and Mazda comparison, if they both had the same torque to weight ratio (handicapped if necessary) and optimum gearing, wouldn't the Mustang at 2750 RPM accelerate at the same rate as the Mazda at 9000 RPM (neglecting wind and rolling resistance, etc.)? They almost HAVE to...but if so, then why does the Mazda beat the %#*^ out of the Mustang in the quarter? Doesn't horsepower win races? There's something here I don't get...and no wise comments, hahaha...
