Default How much of a loss am I looking at?

I dynoed 474.8 rwhp with my tko600. But I'm switching to a dynamic mighty mite m2 c4 right now. I know autos lose more hp n tq because of the increased drive line loss. The trans mission is fully rollerized with a Dynamic TCT spragless 10in converter. Here's a link to it. http://www.dynamicracingtrans.com/fordtranny.htm

It's the m2.

So what do you guys think im going to end up losing power wise?

I don't want to dyno it again since dynamic said c4's don't like chassis dynos. Not sure why that is im guessing it has to do with load on the trans. I know it will pick up et but im just wondering what ill be losing to the wheels

sadly a 12.06 was best with a 60' of a 1.95 best 60' with the tko600 the first gear was to long for launching so if i tried to drop it from over 4g it would spin like hell (local tracks surface blows) and anything under 3500 it would bog down then come alive. Im sure that with a set of slicks and with the converter and transbrake that i can get my 60's into the 1.5 with my setup of suspension. which i would hope bring my et to some where around 11.20s-11.30's

I was on drag radials the 255/60/15's not enough tire i guess. even after a burnout. I was traping around 120-121 though so its all in my 60' yeah im really hoping for low 11's i still have some life left in my dr's so ill use those the first time out and if they aren't working (thats my guess) once they are gone im going to go to either et street or slicks like you guys suggested
