I dont know about that savvy, I put down 258 rwhp when I stock last year! From what I saw, the automatics were putting down in the 220's to the mid 230's and 6spd, were getting anywhere from the 230's to low 260's (the latter being very few and far in between) Below are my numbers, and promise these were when I was stock with 35k miles.

The days of factory freaks are just about gone. The reason there appears to be such a wide ranch of dyno results, is because of the different dyno's used, settings, environmental conditions.

I can guarantee no DE really puts down over 250rwhp stock (would venture to say 240'ish being max).

lol. nice 10% driveline loss you got there. must have no tranny and be running on lightweight 14's. i wouldnt return to that dyno ever again if i wanted numbers to share with anyone. its obviously VERY overadjusted to read like a Dynojet...

~240WHP +/- 5WHP is where a stock Z 6MT or 5AT should be. Anything else and the dyno reads either high or low. The best way to measure your car's power is on a 1/4 mile track by looking at its trap speed. If you nail 100MPH+, you're fine.

My base 05' put down 251.1hp about 5 minutes after an 03' touring pulled a 234.5 on the same dyno. We both have the same DE motor, and we were both stock.
