I've seen claims of 15-25% drive train loss. The lesser number is with a 4 speed and seems to be 5% less than with an auto. I've assmed 20% loss and figure I've got around 425HP based on my racing performance. Frankly, I when I built the engine, I expected to see more in the 450 to 475 HP range. I tried to find an engine dyno in the area before I dropped the engine back in the car but decided to just get it together and chassis dyno when time allowed.
