Same as with our Chryslers we had on several German Dynos! In most cases was the engine power > 10 % less manufactures data.
I have been "running" chevy's for years and the "average" so called loss of HP is usually between 15-20% through the drivetrain to the rear tires due to torque convertor and everything else down the drive line. The stick shift actully is a little less than and automatic.
