Nobody is steamed here doc, at least not me. You,fireamx, 180 have likely forgotten more than I will ever know about car stats,
That said, I do not see why so many think our 3.2 @ 215 base HP, is limited to 265 to 275 HP in NA format...... . Which, BTW, is more likely @ 225 HP because the same engine in the 320 Benz was rated there.
Under that premise,
300 HP is only a 25% gain over factory
280 HP would only be 20%
These are not uncommon gains for tuners to acheive with simple mods..
Short of taking the engine out,there is no way to determine crank HP except by mathematics applied to the wheel HP.
If I remember correctly baseline Dyno for my car at the wheel was 146 to start and 197 at the finish of the tunes and mods. Perhaps I am doing the math all wrong.
I bow to the better informed.
