How much power at the wheels?

for a 6 speed and 4 speed?

I keep hearing low 200 range for the 6 speed, but I haven't heard any for the 4. And the 4 is advertised as 197 so I imagine it would be at around 160, but again, I don't know.


Anyone know?

160 for a GT?!

No way!

It can't be that much of a drop at the wheels.

That would be me. I've been collecting as much information as possible after spending who knows how much time diggin' through posts, threads and stupid comments. So...I decided to have my own build up of dynos (and I am working on more stuff...I just need time)

I have been using 180 as a baseline figure and my G-Tech reported the same in net h.p. when I was stock. My power-speed slide rule and my G-Tech have been in agreement every step of the way. That allows me to accurately predict my times and net h.p. High 14's was where I started and I have made much progress since then.
