Then 93.96x2.461=231.23 for first gear

and 231.23x3=693.7 for final drive, taking away say 10% for loses in transmission to make it easy is 624.33 ft-lbs of torque at the rear wheel in first.

When the same is done for top gear you end up with only 222.7ft-lbs after assumed loses.

Obviously these arn't the numbers a dyno shows us, so they must convert it somehow. Can someone fill in this gap for me? I assume it must be run in 2 gears then it can use the different figures to work out the actual amount that is on tap after all loses?
