Yes. There are losses, but usually most of them are due to the tires and traction.
Measuring at the hubs we eliminate those factors.
So yes, there are still loses but from measuring stock cars compared to the claimed numbers from the manufacturers, we usually see around 20-30 ho difference form hub to crank on RWD. About 10-15 ho loss for FWD and about 30-45 for RWD.
1000 @ crank seems a bit high to me. In any case it is very fast, when it grips.

We are using the z32 box, stock for now. We brok an input shaft at the diff, not at the gearbox.
However, I think it was due to wheel hoop off the line.
We will try to fix this somehow.

We are running both power steering and a/c.
The car is in full street trim.
The only real discomfort is the noise from the exhaust.
