Oldsmobile 307 V8 from the 1980's has 140 horsepower. (VIN Y)
The Hurst and 442 have the H.O. version (VIN 9) and has 170 horsepower.
There are only 3 things that make a 307 VIN 9 an H.O.... cam, lifters, and valve springs.
The Fiero L44 2.8 V6 H.O. had much more done to it to get that same 30 more horsepower over the regular 2.8. The Fiero v6 is a true H.O. engine head to toe dispite the low 1980's horsepower ratings.
