And btw I believe it's 200hp at the crank and more like 160 at the wheels. I might be wrong tho. Someone correct me please if I am incorrect.

personally i look at the torque more than the hp think of it, whats making those big v8's twist their chassis? its the torque not the hp, also has anyone dyno'ed one themselves? a lot of figures can be underrated for insurance purposes, or other reasons, not saying anyone would do that, now would they?

edit: i mean idk, correct me if i'm wrong

We have seen dynos here before. The 200 HP at the crank is pretty accurate stock. The factory did some changes that improved the torque curve for 99-02. This made the 3800 a little more responsive but did little for the max HP.

I use about 10-15% HP lost in the drive line. 10% stick 15% automatic.

Override chip? I have no clue what that is. Do you have a link or something?
