Are the numbers bogus?
Quite possibly, yes.
Chrysler Corporation has historically set their horsepower numbers below the actual dynomometer numbers.
Take the 440 Magnum and 426 Hemi, for instance. In actual dyno tests of bone-stock engines in the late '60s/early '70s, they were shown to have much more HP and torque than the advertising claims.
The Cummins engines have always been capable of a great deal more HP and torque than Dodge set them for.
So, yes, there is a good chance the numbers are bogus, but on the low side!
