Default rwhp?

I just bough a 2008 v6, and I was wondering what the rwhp was. I know the previous generation was around 160-170, but I'm just wondering what the differences in power is. I modded up my 04 and can't remember how it ran stock. Thanks in advance

While were on the HP subject, the v6 is rated at 210 hp net but isn't it true that it actually has closer to 200-225 hp net ?

not really. The stock rating is just about right on. Some will be slightly lower, some slightly higher, but our actual crank horsepower is right around 210 and torque is right around 240, just like it's rated.

if they said you had 210 hp before they put the tune in, they are doing something wrong....you contridict yourself in the post because in the first line you says its will mods, i would take that to be tune included......if not then i would say they arent doing something wrong.......you dont get 25 or more HP from the exhaust IMO
