Stock LT1 is rated for 275hp at the flywheel. Assuming an 18% loss through the driveline with an A4 you are looking at about 225 to the rear wheels.

Its always possible that GM rated the F-bodies engine just a few HP lower than the Vettes for marketing reasons. They wouldn't want a car that is half the price putting out the same hp

Re: Stock LT1 A4 HP???

Check the LT1 Dyno archive at LS1tech.com: http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=303172 Lot of pages to weed through w/ various mods but there are a few stock dynos there. (We should have one of these archives here...)

You'll find 240-250 rwhp seems to be the norm for auto LT1s in good running order. That would indicate to me the Fbody LT1s were underrated and really putting out the same 300ish hp as the Vette LT1s (which they should seeing as the compression, heads, cam, etc was the same as the Vette, just slightly different exhaust and air filter/air intake routing)...
