Yeah don't we make 190 flywheel? And I figured the 4.0's would make more than 190 stock plus I've heard the CAI/tuner combo helps to wake up the 4.0. But yeah that is a good ballpark just to give OP an idea.

Um, not enough to beat my 96'?

>:3

Stock for 05-10' is 210bhp and 240tq.

Steeda claims 16-20rwhp more for the tune/CAI combo, a lot of people will tell you that all of these guys buff the numbers up by having supporting mods to different dyno's used (not all are the same) to total BS like those E-Charger things.

So you are probably around 225 or 235bhp, right around there.

Better watch out for those 11' 3.7L sixxers this spring, they are packing 305hp!

I'm with neo on this. 235bhp sounds just about right due the mods that you have.. And those 2011 v6's are gona have those 05-10 s197 owners feeling a little short in the pants region.
