Ok, i dont want to p1ss on anyones party but the fly figures seem too high to me.
Eg, sooty's 138bhp. 
i agree with his 99.5bhp @ wheels but 39% transmission losses is way too high for a front wheel drive car.
The norm for a front wheel drive is 25% although some reckon the 106 box only gives 10% losses.
So 99.5 + 25% =124.3bhp which seems a more reasonable figure to me.
u just caused 6 pages of arguin with ure crap maths

Kerry's 129@wheels + 50.5% losses = 194.1bhp.

You said your drag output(losses) were 50.5%
so 129bhp+50.5% =191 odd bhp.
I think Sooty and i have sussed it out, the oil in the gearbox is thick when cold and the cars had been sitting for a while hence the high tranny losses.
