Its more or less just a general rule of thumb. To be completely accurate and say it only takes 40hp to turn a 4l60e wouldn't work. There's too many variables. If you really want to know your specific drivetrain loss, there's some expensive testing you can do. For now, just look at trap speed
Yes you're 100% right but I don't care how much power I am making, knowing won't make it any faster. My curiosity just comes in from trying to understand how the loss is a percentage as opposed to a set number for an exact same setup; just with the motor making more/less power than originally.
