There is no one on here that could make me believe that once you get to X amount of horse power that after that you are not loosing any more through the drivetrain.

I never said the engine HP would go up from a 1 piece carbon fiber vs a 2 piece steel driveshaft I said the drivetrain LOSS would be less thus showing RWHP gains.
How do you know this? Simply put your drive train didn't become significantly harder to spin/move now that you have more power...

Check out 8cd3gr0's post. He does a bit better at explaining what I was trying to.

Not saying you made any claims in particular. Just trying to provide examples for clairity.
