I was watching a video of a dyno run...it was posted in one of the forums... The beginning in the video it displays what is done to the truck, in which it says turbo LC Engineering engine...long story short, at the end, it says "197hp, 237 (i think) torque...

Now, I've been looking into the turbo LC engine...it's around $6K...but if it only put 197hp to the wheels, I'll opt to build my own. For a turbo motor, I don't care if its only 4cyl, paying $6K for less than 200hp seems horrible. Are these motors really only putting out 200?
