According to Usaf ,test carry out in the early 80s between us and w. Germany ,tvc has a negative effect on the jet engine overall thrust output,it reduced output by at much 25-30% .to cancel out the disruption a engine max. Thrust must exceed 30000 lbs thrust.
This mean the j36 engine max.thrust had to exceed 30000 lbs. Thrust,likely a complete different engine

The figures I've seen previously were a 5-10% penalty for thrust vectoring (for existing aircraft)
