Steve - not looking at the power levels so much as the percentage loss through the drivetrain. His first engine got 75% of the engine HP to the tires, second engine got 78% to the tires. That doesn't seem as though the dyno numbers are out of whack, rather - they're fairly constant.

Your 649 / 584 idea suggest a 10% total power loss from engine to chassis dyno. I haven't seen any street cars that can get that percentage of power to the tires.
