Why do you say they are all over the place?

Further, where do you get that 13% number from ? To me it does not seem to have any foundation.

As I pointed to you many times before, the shape of the P-rad curve does not
correlate to anything we have seen. You cannot only consider the peak power numbers to establish losses, at which RPM they are obtained is also important. By your logic, the F8X would have 25% drivetrain loss at 7300rpm since the Maha dyno WHP is about 325ps at that RPM. Think about it a little...
