Our 2008 Saab 9-3 6spd manual put down 201 hp and 211 lb-ft on the stock tune with 93 octane fuel (Saab definitely under rates this engine!). We picked up 36 hp and 45 lb-ft over the peak power of the stock tune and put down 237 hp / 255 lb-ft at the wheels with our Stage 0 calibration (same dyno, same day). Using a 15% drivetrain loss factor yields an estimated crank rating of 279 hp / 300 lb-ft!

We were suspicious of the numbers and ran it against our 2007 9-3 Aero on the same dyno – sure enough our Stage 0 2.0T put down +12 hp over the stock 2.8T (rated at 250hp)!
