so if a car has 200 HP at the flywheel like lets say.. the RS-X type S..

and at the wheels it only has about 170 HP.

that means 30 HP was loss through the drivetrain.

question is.. how to minimize that loss?.. better clutch? better oil?..

and will this greatly add to the "gains" of future mods?.
