Nope, the '89-'92 L98 were 245/345 vs my 255/334 @ the flywheel.
And yes, altough I have more power than the TTA was rated for (250/340) I think anyone will tell you they were HIGHLY underrated - more like 260/340 at teh wheels!
I will say, though, with the weight difference - I'll now outrun ANY stock 3rdgen, minus the TTA.

According to PAS, Inc. who assembled them for Pontiac,
they put down 280/380 to the wheels. Just slightly underrated
by GM's standards.

Im wondering how this thing would work with Dean's custom intake. The stock Klingon war ship is holding that thing back I bet.
