Anyone have Dyno numbers for a stock 350 R171?
Just got my car back from the dealer today.... they replaced the engine with a new crated 2007 engine due to the notorious "burning oil" situation.... but for some reason, it seems a bit underpower. I'm thinking of having the car dyno'd to see if there is any performance loss, or maybe it is just be being without the car for 1 1/2 months driving a B200 loaner. Just trying to compare what a before and after scenario would be

Surely a brand new engine is bound to feel down on power because it hasn't had time to bed in? There is no point having a brand new engine dynoed as it won't be putting out as much power as after you've run it in properly........ many cars take around 10000 miles before getting the best performance.
