To be honest I cant remember the exact #'s. The only time it was on the dyno was when it was initially tuned. It was in the 370-375 whp range. I have the sheet laying around somewhere. Made really good power under the curve for what it was though. Hoping to be about 80-100 whp over that with the new car.
