Say what? I made 240rwhp/330rwtq at the wheels with my stock L-98 engine. The valve covers have never been off the car. There are other little mods, but no motor mods.

1988 was 245/340 at the crank I believe Pete. When mine was stock/stock she made 212rwhp/321rwtq if my memory is correct. Just a tad underrated in the TQ dept.

Those are exceptional numbers. To make the same numbers at the wheel that they are said to make the flywheel is exceptional.

As a side note, we do quite a few Imp SSs. They put down 230 HP roughly, untouched. Some not even that.
Anyone with a bone stock L98 auto making 240 at the wheels ought to be questioning the results. Those numbers are optimistic to say the least.
If you look at the graph, the HP peaks at 3900. The increase in cubes shows the intakes restriction even more. Again, same thing we see from stroker L98s with untouched intakes. Peak is usually 4200 or so. This one a little sooner. Maybe cause the cam is pretty mild.

DITTO. Most of the L98 autos we see are lucky to crack 200. I can post a few graphs if need be.

Read the thread. Don't get bent out of shape guys. It is, what it is. L-98's with the stock TPI's just dont make great power, plan and simple.

Stock with nothing except the frisbee delete and a seeping headgasket the old 89 made anywhere from 224 to 232 hp and 321 to 332 lbs tq depending on engine temperature.
