It had 140 just like yours. However when you hear us talking about dyno horsepower we are talking about power at the wheels. So when I dyno'd my car stock I hit 124 at the wheels. Which is actually quite strong for a low port. ~120 is typical. Reason for this discrepency is that manufactures take the hp rating at the crankshaft while once you filter the power through the tranny and all the gears, differentials, cv joints, friction etc you'll generaly lose ~15% power once it hits the road.

So after saying all that with 146.5whp and add 15% I'm now seeing close to 170 crank hp. So all the mods I've done have really made a big difference.
