question about the 3.8 hp. rating.
I see that the GP'* 3.8 is rated at 200 hp. Where is the extra 5 hp coming from on the Bonnie? Intake?

The second muffler is for looks and sounds... And yes the W-Body exhaust has one big bend. The G-Body is more flow through! I like having the highest rated N/A 3800 ever made... Now what about the Lucrene it has a 3800 and is a G-Body but only rated at 200hp is that because its a Series III? Or what?
