HorsePower?

Ok, this is probably a simple question, but I didn't find anything in the FAQ, so, whats the stock HP on a 90 GXE?

and for the heck of it, let us add that you are only getting about 130 real horsepower to the wheels with the bone-stock setup. the other 30 is lost to heat and friction. all of the bolt-on culture is about liberation of horsepower. and/or actually adding more hp. but the debate arises over which is which and does it matter. freeing up v. adding. are they one and the same? for example, going turbo is adding. bolting on a CAI is liberating. but the net result is more horsepower no matter what.

The faq states that adding a CAI + mandrel bent Y-pipe can easily "free up" 20hp. I sure as hell felt a difference! But.. so did my tranny.
