I noticed the Chevy 454 used in the Pontiac FWD GT combination did not get any HP.

Gene I thought sure they would take 4 HP off the combo.

Mickey, the guide said the HP is up to 405, so the answer is yes.

Gene, I think they are just picking on the king, 19 hp is a lot, that is down right wrong.

Joe - a little better, but still doesn't seem quite right, anyway watch your converter now with the extra 50 or so pounds and tell me if it doesn't flash a wee bit higher - [looser]. seriously my last hit @ 417HP - 3920 lbs min I had to change converter and the new one was out of the question!!! IF I'M WRONG ICE CREAM ESKIMO PIE ON ME - LOL

I saw the same thing but the 375hp/429 got a 5 hp gift going from 371 to 376, don't quite understand how a slower combo gets hp and the faster one doesn't. I am not even going to get into how the AHFS is such a joke.

It's probably based on "Have You Driven a Ford Lately?; because if you do, you are going to get screwed.
