Just so you know there are actually lock up converters and so much more like torque convertors with different rates of loss that calculating things out is a lot more complicated on a car by car basis with the varied parts.

A convertor btw slops around throwing the fluid with its little fins making pressure so imagine that...and imagine the torque getting to the wheels having to come from those little valves all over in the transmission flowing that fluid then transferring power through a couple u -joints to split off a gear to another gear that's attached to a pair of axles...…. And what kind of rear..... cause that matters.... a locker...a one legged dog.....etc now really blow your mind and figure the HP is measured off the torque...because torque is what moves you HP just says hey the engines this efficient making that torque...……


And you could have that 800 hp car with say 650 torque get its ass kicked by a car with 650 hp and 650 ft lbs of torque being lighter...kind of like lining up a ZL1 against a Hellcat.....or Demon..... wow how mind friggin boggling...LOL And yes of course if your even on a dyno measuring the loss and if its load bearing or full of SSSSSS...……...
