So this has been on my mind for a while now and im asking now: has anyone truthfully Dyno tested their stock 3800 series II monte carlo? The non S/C engine. I want to know what other people have gotten if they've done it. My only modification to the engine has been that i put a Weapon-R Short Ram Dragon intake kit (which isnt much) and i want to know how much power these engines really have. Some websites say 195 others say 200 and others say 205 so i wanted to know if anyone tested it.

 

200 at the crank, so after drivetrain loss you're maybe looking at maybe 170 to the wheels

 

the hp conversion calculator says 166whp.

 

I don't know that I would spend the money to dyno a stock 3800. Like the others say your getting about 166 to 170 at the wheels, just accept that number as a base line. Dyno sessions can get spendy especially if your tuning the engine.
