uhh its closer to 30% and i'm super confused how this assumption has been made. Its not out of the ordinary for n54 owners to put down 420-450+ hp at the wheels (through an open diff no less) and we typically assume between an 18-20% loss in power from engine through crank etc.

Are we underestimating the power our engines are actually making??
