The 245hp was what Buick ADMITTED. They had to get it past Turbo Hydramatic or else they would have a car with no transmission. The 245 figure was achieved at 4400 rpm. The heads continued to breath up to 5400 or so. Car and Driver estimated about 290 in their April 1986 issue based upon its performance in the 1/4 mile.
