Mine ended the year with around 7 hp. Two blown head gaskets & a leaking intake seal!
But when I release the hounds this spring, I should be around 70 hp with an 80 ci evo.
Hatch.
Altitude must have something to do with it because the owner's manual says it should have about 92tq stock but even with a stage 1 mine only has 68hp/81tq. I've got a SE Ventilator intake, Jackpot headers and mufflers w/ competition baffles and SEPST. I live at an elevation of 5000 feet. If I had it dyno'd at sea level I'll bet the numbers would be a lot better.
remember, the torque/hp numbers that hd says you should have is measured at the crank, not at the wheel....
Yep, all manufacturers publish crank horsepower, not rear wheel horsepower. Altitude shouldn't play too much of a role provided the dyno operator corrects the numbers to SAE specs, of a given barometer and temperature. It won't be completely exact, but pretty close (within dyno to dyno variability, anyway).

As stated earlier the factory numbers are taken at the crank not the rear wheel.
I live at 4500' and my stage 1 is at 75hp/88tq. Very average.
I just got mine Dyno tuned and have the SEPST. All I have is stage 1 with SE Slipons.
my numbers are 75.47HP/82.15TQ. I was also wondering what the stock #'s were. I was told these are average for stage 1. any suggestions?
