for the W72 package engine, in 77 put down 200hp, and 325 torque
in 78 it went up to 220 hp and lost 5 in torque, down to 320
and the few that were left that went into the 79s had the same ratings as the 78

wow thats amazing what oil will do to HP ratings! I would love to have one of the old Bandit Trans Ams with an LSX motor in it today!
