at power play 1 year it made 147.9 when stone cold,

and another time at another dyno day it made 137 with 333nm of torque, but it had XR6 turbo injectors in it untuned, and the afr's where off the chart. LoL.

when its running right i think it should make about 150 to 160 at the wheels

and all that is done to the car is, twin throlte body manifold, button clutch, 4.11's and a mini spool, stock headers with a 2 and a half inch exshust with twin cat and muffler system.

V6's are the way I think. There the best bang for buck, and when you put some good pipes on and get a good cold air induction you can really get them going.
