HP on 92 RS

HOw much HP and torque did the 92 RS TBI put out? Someone told me stock HP was 170. That seems so small for a V8. The LO3 engine was not made for performance stock i know but still, i figured it would atleast give 220 because it does have some *****. ANy answers?

Nope, 170 is all it's got. It has the "peanut" cam, small exhaust manifolds, 2.25" cat and cat-back, single snorkel air cleaner, and swirl-port heads. All that leads to a very efficient V8 that runs like a V6.
