157whp ~= 190 crank horse (17% drivetrain loss). Sounds like a 180hp motor to me. Unless it made 157hp on an engine dyno. ---

no it was innovative dyno i thought those were wheel numbers …sorry for acting like an ass. but i think that was with the gt ecu and not the gtx i think it was about 150 to the wheels with the gtx ecu. soo it should be around 180 at the crank. and the tq those motors put out is nice. ---
