wow, good question! I have heard the answer to this, but I can't remember it. This is going to drive me nuts. I know that on the 96 cars the shock towers are bigger than they are on 97-98 cars, but I am pretty sure that doesn't affect horsepower! Lol

Im pretty sure there is no difference. Maybe it was a misprint. 96-98 have 225 stock.

It's a collector's item, that adds at least 10-15 rwhp!
