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.

Wow, that is some major drivetrain loss! Over 20%.

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.

Check out the link in the first post, they put headers, tune, carbonfiber intake, and new exhaust.
