the fact is wether the rr is right or wrong you will have less losses the more power you have and an escos is believed to be app 20% std and thats at 220 bhp so its not going to be the same 20% at 700 bhp is it???

You are aware that dave doesnt run a standard gearbox are you mate? It has much bigger teeth in it that would give potentially give different losses on a standard car to what the standard box does?
But either way, it is NOT the case that when you triple the power the % losses will always drop, sometimes they will go up and sometimes they will go down, its entirely application dependant, there isnt a "one rule fits all cases" answer to this, so you are over simplifying the issue to the point where what you are saying is simply not accurate anymore IMHO
