Question Parasitic loss

Does anyone out there know what percent of parasitic loss the drivetrain has on horsepower. I put my car on the dyno at DVSF and ended up with 360 rwhp and 398 rwtq. I've always heard the drivetrain loss wound up around 25 to 30 percent. Anyone have an answer to that question.

Just Curious,

Jim Downard
