drivetrain loss????

Cyberstang -

I think you got it there. The formulas we gave you for hp involved weight (weight is a force and is accounted for when you calculate torque), distance (basically accounted for by rpm's, the revolutions being the distance so to say), and time (again from rpm....time being the per minute part).

If it makes it easier for you to visualize, here is the hp formula substituting force * distance for torque.

HP = Rev. / Min. * Force * Distance / 5252

Remember that the force here is a weight.

Don't know if this helps anymore.....maybe write it out on paper and play with a few numbers like I did in the example in my previous post.
