I believe Fiat uses the same SAE procedure for HP that GM does and the rest of the industry. So "under rated" doesn't mean what it did years ago.

You may see engines that make more than that number, just like you do with LS3s and likely will with the LT1, but the standardized SAE procedure, which is a witnessed test, pretty much prevents over and under rating an engine.
