Top of the list is Friction Modification Technology, which has been increased by 25 per cent in the latest formulation. When it comes to natural loss of power to heat and friction before you get your final power output, the Scottish Dr Cantlay said, "You cannot change the laws of physics," without a wink or a nod to suggest he meant to play off the great words of a certain Star Trek engineer.
