Yes the frictional loss will increase, but do you really think it would account for a 30 hp loss in the two examples, I for one don't think so, as the amount of heat generated would be pretty extreme and lead to failure of parts in pretty short order.
Anyway, I think trying to extract flywheel numbers from rwhp numbers is pointless.
