No problem. We all learned something here I think. I guess sometimes it's good to re-visit old topics.

I can drink to that.

No way in hell it could reach 345whp, even w/ a great tune. Those are factory freaks, so don't kid yourself about numbers. Just take the advertised HP and drop 15% for manuals and about 18-20% for auto's. There's your educated guess...

Think he was refering to flywheel horsepower.

The AIR EGR systems do not effect HP at all. The AIR system only runs for the first 5-8 minutes after the car starts to help raise the cat temp to lightoff faster and the EGR system only works under part throttle cruising. The only reason to remove that stuff (unless you beleive in imagianary power) is to clean up the engine compartment.

Factory ratings are given at the flywheel and not the wheels. 305 RWHP IS over 345 FWHP when you figure in drive drain loss.
