I got this information on another board.

I never saw the 170HP rating before. I had read about detuning to pass American Emmisions but did not know it was that big of a detuning. Any comments on this?

ohhh and my engine was never tuned for America as far as I know. It has about 7.25psi in booste.

I think he meant 170 lb/ft of torque, which is the correct spec for these engines.

Thank's speedy; that makes more since.

But you bring up an important point... Did you know that Mercedes cars (at least the ones from 60s-80s) were tuned to 30% capacity... A Mercedes car of these eras can easily handle more power and torque. Makes you wonder the true potential, but then again, they wouldn't last like they do...
