if you need losses on the drive train, that is easy to find.
think about the whole system.
i used wire up drag cars.
long ago. Custom everything and my custom electronic ignitions. 1966'
one day this friend of mine decided to test drive his drag Mustang.
it had 8 webers on it. 289cu-in. "all custom work to do that"
he cranked it up on the back lot, and dumped the clutch.
the left RW lug studs all sheered at once this huge drag slick flew in the air ,missing me by 12 inches and distroyed the garage door and many things inside next to me.
400 HP did that.
so think about all the pieces , working together and expect the worst.
maybe a Wranger with a nice v8 ?

Everyone should experiance the awe and thrill of massive brake down just once so you can apriseate the power of a blown engine. I have personaly put a super charger through the roof of my garage when the engine back fired and off it came . It went though the roof and landed in the neighbor's yard. It's something you never forget and a very Expensive leson.
