Factory rating is 325. People that have run their own dynes on stock engines have seen low 300's at the wheels. While it is way more complicated than making an assumption, for simplicities sake let's say an engine "loses" 15% of its horsepower through transferring power to the wheels. If you say that, then you could imply a rear wheel HP rating of 300 has an engine actually producing 345. Drivetrain power losses are way more complicated than that, but in a simple answer....the engine is rated at 325 but I feel there is enough anecdotal evidence to prove the actual number is higher.
The 1997 Trans Ams have 285 horsepower. The WS6 models had 305.
305
325
305 hp, Ram Air WS6 models had 320 hp
305 HP
The base LS1 had 305 hp, Ram Air (WS6) models had 320.
I own 1 2002 and 1 2001 trans am ws6, both have a 3.42 rear end ratio, that was the standard gear for the ws6 from the factory. The collector edition ws6 had a option for a slightly lower gear.
310 for the LS1, 325 for the Ram Air (WS6) models.
There were 30,690 Firebirds produced in 2002 of that number 14,608, almost half, were Trans AM WS6. Although the total production numbers were low because half were WS6 that makes them the least collectible of the bunch.
The 97 Trans Am does 285 hp, Ram Air (WS6) models had 305 hp
155 to 160 mph
