Horsepower loss
I know there are some very smart people out here on OSO so here is my question. Using an example of 900 hp with bam trannys and wet sump 6 drives or dry sump what is the horsepower loss from the crank shaft to the prop either in percentage or numbers? Thanks for the info.

so really .. is your question " how much hp does a bam transmission with a # 6 and X prop use at y rpm at z temp using q lube use ?? "
bam should be able to tell you the answer for the transmission. merc should be able to tell you the answer for the drives and simple math will tell you about the prop once you know its mass and diameter and MOI. then you just add them up and you will be close...
