Post HP...flywheel to wheels?

Can anyone tell me what the difference is in HP between the flywheel and the wheels?

Meaning, if I'm putting 230 horse power to the wheels, what does that equal at the flywheel?

Is it about 30 hp or so? More? Less?

Check out this thread: <a href="http://forums.rennlist.com/forums/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic&f=18&t=000474" target="_blank">transmission losses on dyno run</a>

And also check out the charts on <a href="http://www.novustelecom.net/~fkassam/dyno/dyno.html" target="_blank">Farzaan's Dyno Day</a>. Compare the charts of the stock cars with known specs and draw your own conclusions...
