Otherwise, a 700bhp engine with a "15% loss" would be losing 105hp, which apparently doesn't typically happen. The percentages just work as good approximations within the 200-300hp range that most people are in...
Other mustangs with engines set up similar to mine usually make in the neighborhood of 230rwhp.
