I guess they really aren't lying about the 20% drivetrain loss. Wonder if they can get about another 100rwhp with the Renntech goodies. Should definitely be interesting.

Transmission mostly, however pretty much everything that gets in the way of the HP until it physically reaches the rear wheels is to blame as well.

Ya, I also thought the new transmission is supposed to have less drivetrain loss

I think the problem is that the 6.2 doesn't loosen up until it hits a few thousand miles, so dynoing a low mileage 6.2 will show lower hp numbers.
