more than 215 i would hope because i raced a guy i know in his 2002 lexus and specs on it show they have 215 hp i dont know about the torque though..i know its bad to race but he never would leave me alone
The only way to get the exact numbers, would be to put it on a dyno and stop your guess work. You can have two stock 98 GT's, and on the dyno they'll give you two different numbers. It all depends on how well it was maintained, and just how many miles on the clock. If you were close enough, I would put you on the dyno just to get your numbers, Mike. SCT Tuner.
They will vary but the official reading is 225 (up from the 215 of the 96-97's) and 285 on tq (same as the 96-97's). I think it is said that a slight exhaust tweak allows for the extra hp. As has been said, the best way to find out for sure on yours is to strap her to a dyno. The mods are good engines even in first generation form but higher mileage examples will be a bit tired and won't show factory numbers.
