That'd be like badging his car 405hp and then only putting 364 to the wheels..

Question <sorry for the tiny hijack> ? But isn't advertised horsepower ( IE Badges) Supposed to be crank horsepower ?
the Z06 (505 hp) is crank no ? the Blackbird Earnhart etc all have advertised horsepower thats crank not rwhp ? or am I mistaken, don't mind if I am, but I just put 400 hp Manta on my SS and I am gonna feel damn foolish if it was supposed to reflect rwhp, that or I am gonna have to do LT and a small shot..

The badging and horsepower for the vettes is played up. GM doesnt want new vette enthusiasts to know they can get a camaro that makes the same power for less than half the price.
