I have seen on websites stating that to 3.8L puts out 205hp and 225ft.lbs of tq. The my 1998 owners manual says the engine puts out 200hp and 305 tq. I'm thinking that the torque rating in the manual is a misprint. Any help on clarifing what the real numbers are would be helpful. Thank you

 

Your bang on for hp and torque. I'd say it's a misprint.

 

That's at the crank.

 

305 ft-lbs of torque from the 3.8 liter? Thats not correct.

 

I know that's at the crank. I was just looking through my manual while I was waiting for my sister and I saw that. I know the engine makes more torque than horse power but thst seemed a little extreme
