Seems to me the driveline will rob "X" amount of HP regardless of how much power the engine makes.

I'm in agreement, and have told people in the past trying to figure out flywheel numbers on a chassis dyno from a percentage is not that accurate. I've had an engine on the dyno, and the same car on the chassis dyno later. The percentage thing doesn't quite pan out.
