Default Dyno differences single plate VS twin plate clutches

This may be a dumb question, but I was wondering if cars dyno'd with single disk clutches dyno higher then cars with twin disk clutches (provided the single disk isn't slipping) ?? Seems that everyone on hear talks about gears, 12 bolt vs 10 bolt, this flywheel vs that flywheel and how they all affect how much HP is being put out I just thought I'd ask if anyone has noticed a difference between different clutches.

MODS

If this is in the wrong section, then please move. Thanks

It's going to depend on the weight and rotational mass of each. A heavier clutch will read lower than a lighter clutch. Some dual/flywheel combinations can be lighter than a single/heavy flywheel setup.

I would agree it is all on the rotating mass. The less the higher the hp reading.
