If you guys seriously believe they left that much on the table with all their engineering might then good day to ya! I'll just go back to building Le Mans winning cars with all the other idiots like me.
You make another great point here. The HP is really mostly measured from the factory at the crank and doesn't take the intake into consideration. So in turn you don't have 197 whp but 197 crank hp.
What you do with the intake or most other add on mods you actually free up more of the usable hp not adding to their dynoed crank HP.
