Probably some, as most cars are dyno-ing in the 370-375 RWHP range. While the live axle will eat a bit less power than an IRS, and the MT82 *might* be more efficient at transmitting power, it seems a bit of a stretch that the car only loses ~40 HP going from the flywheel to the rear.

Then again, I guess its hard to say for sure.
