Yet, there are individuals that have psted the numbers as high as 210 hp from the dealers.

Does anyone know the real numbers.

I am looking to replace the 275,000 mile engine in my truck and I am looking at a setup from Pace Performance. This new setup has around 265 HP complete from the crate. This will have the Edelbrock multi-point fuel injection, to assist in the improvement
when i was at tech school, a base 88 1500 short bed made 143 wheel. i remember this kid thought he was hot stuff with his beefy sounding rig. but it was a turd indeed lol. im assuming 160? it has the same pos tbi injection

Or,you could read all the suggestions and try those.It`s been well explained,I think,already.
