I believe they are sold as "180hp" but many engines will actually output a couple extra horses when actually placed on the dyno/test run...
Not an engine expert at all but from what I understand that is how it works. I wouldn't want to buy a 180hp engine and find out it only puts out 177hp! that would be false advertising :-)
