I think its largely reliability that you gain from the crash boxes. Pretty much indestructible.

I have no evidence to back this up but i have been told a normal transmission robs 100hp more from a motor when compared to a crashbox (in this example behind a 950hp blower motor). no idea how that translates to differences in speed

Everything I've seen and know suggest that it's only about a 25-35 hp loss to run a transmission. A crashbox is going to eat something, but given that the total loss is 25-35 the difference in Hp loss is going to be minimal.
