There seems to be all sorts of opinions about this. I was wanting someone to step up that really knew the answer to inform me. Guess that's not you--------JACKASS!
Where did I say anything about the search button?
...and yes, I knew the answer to your question.

- SSCoulter: Mike K had his 408 on an engine dyno and chassis dyno, the difference between the two was 92hp if i recall. try searching or PM'ing him for specifics but i believe it was the stock drive train (t56, 10 bolt, and 3.42's)

My last dyno I put down 308hp and it was 98 degrees and very humid in that shop last July. So where am I?
308 + 46.2 = 354.2
I said 350-360fwhp. I gave him a few extra ponies.

unit213, sorry man. Really, I've had way to much to drink. I got you confused with that other post about the ricers. I take full responsibility for being the Jackass here. My humble apologies.

Even so, as we all well know, no two "identical" cars are exactly the same. The only real way to know your FWHP is to remove the engine and dyno it alone.
