Default Why so much power loss? NEED ANSWERS PLEASE

hey, how come the Prelude puts 156hp to the wheels
and the rsx puts 171-175?
and the s2000 puts 181-185
How come we are losing 25% of the power that reaches the ground while the others lose 15%

What would help if we wanted more of the power to reach the wheels?

Could it be that there is more loss because it's rear wheel?

Really I must be wrong then cuz I read another thread and someone said they needed a Vtec controller to get it to that to the wheels.

I agree that your dyno numbers are low. That said, RWD does produce more parasitic loss than FWD generally.
