164 ON A DYNO

["AlfaBill LLC /alfabill.com" <mail@domain.elided>]

Hi Alfisti,

We got a cool new toy at work, a DynaPack all wheel drive dyno. I had the 
chance to hook up my daily driver 164 auto box.

Well, without any prepping, she put down 143 hp to the wheels. Considering 
it has a slush box, I'm trying to figure if this is any good.... it's a 22% 
loss from flywheel hp ratings from Alfa. 40 hp to drive a transmission and 
axles? (it does have an a/c clutch that is pretty tight, I'm wondering how 
much this hurt).

This set up is good because there is no wheel slip, as it connects direct 
to the hubs and controls the rpm as it increases for a smooth and easy to 
duplicate run.

So, what do the officials consider good drivetrain loss for a fwd auto box?

Old Black sounded a helluva lot cooler than the Subarus at 6000 rpm though...
