Message	Hi, Your hypothetical Sport500 turbos loose less than 14% of their power to the transmission. Your Z1 Stage-2 turbos appear to lose 28% of their power on the way to the ground. Seems quite fishy to the scientific eye. Please use consistent loss estimates in the future (17-18% for a Z is always at least believable...) or just stick with RWHP. You could have made your point just fine doing so. - John
