Horsepower losses

I know that this is pretty remote from straight efi stuff, but most of the efi work
I see here may be being measured in terms of final outcomes by performance on the
road or dyno. So for the purists, my apologies for taking up bandwidth. Otherwise,
if you can help I would appreciate what you can give me. Direct email if you think
others on this group may object.

Does anyone on the digest have any data that they can help me with regarding the
losses of power through the drivetrain of a car? I am looking for empirical data,
actual
differences between flywheel and rear/front wheel horsepower for the same car. I
understand losses through fwd type gearbox setup where a hypoid drive is not
involved
are less than rwd. Data relating to 4 cyl, 6's, V8's etc. all appreciated.

Any links to sites with this type of data would be appreciated also.
