What year made the most Power Stock..

[Afy]

Since the Cam profiles have changed over the years.. I was wondering what year GTS made the most over the advertised 450.. stock..

I certainly know it wasnt the creampuff's

2003

O.k. For real now.

I really think that there are high and low HP engines from every year. The year is not as important as the luck of the draw. Ending up with a strong engine is just chance.

If you dyno'ed 1 1996 engine and 1 1999 and the '96 had the better higher numbers, that doesn't mean that all '96s are better.

All Gen II engines are very strong.

What about the effects of the Cam changes.. I know that the cream puff idle is a lot smoother than that of the prior years.. also the gears are easier to shift on the creampuffs.. though they remain equally unforgiving cars..

The only debate here can be between the 1996 and the 1997s. The bottom line is if it is a Blue GTS with White Stripes it WILL kick A$$!!!

96-97

I got the same numbers as Sheyster's buddy -- about 430HP and 470FtLbs

 

[Chuck 98 RT/10]

I haven't dyno'd my 97 yet, but I don't think it's any stronger than my 98, 426rwhp.

Also the stick on my 98 shakes like a nymp...well, it just shakes a lot more than my 97. But that may be because the 97 has a short stick. Size matters.
