Jack, I believe that both aero drag and rolling resistance change as the square of speed, so for a given percentage increase in speed you need the square of that percentage increase in power. So, if

Aero drag increases as a square (roughly), generally rolling resistance does not but it's small enough to ignore, especially for small changes near top speed. Not quite, power is force (drag) times

Rolling resistence is a constant force, so the power required to overcome it will increase linearly with speed. Drag will dominate at high speed. Drive train friction is the other big friction loss.

Thanks to all who replied. I guess with my engine finished I have too much time on my brain. I was idly curious as to the cost / benefit ratio of effort and money to raise my TR's hp more than it is.
