Hmmm. The above is greek to me. I guess you are trying to tell me mechanically it is measuring an oil pressure that gives a percent of the trans horsepower available.
So, basically it is the horsepower being used. So, the amount of power required to drive the rotors and other loads on the engine. It shows me what percent of available power being used. How hard the engine is working to do what I am asking.
What then do torques over 100% mean? (besides a new career and a worn engine, haha).
