a/e 8.0 engine,5.5 hp.....nuff said.its a beast and the customer support is awesome
(he really thinks it makes 5.5 hp)
Maybe he was confused and talking about his Honda engine
5.5HP at 8,000RPM mean engine there, they eat john deer tractors all day.
anyhow, 5.5hp..... more like 3 if that, people over rate engines so much, mainly because who is going to have a rig just to prove them wrong? HP isnt everything, alot has to do with power band, big engines have more torque at low rpms, smaller engines have more torque and power higher up. the JPX .21 is FAR stronger than my .28, off the line and up in rpm's if it was modded i doubt any stock engine would even come close to the power output.
correct you are,horsepower doesnt mean much,its all about torque
My MGT was a heavy ******* and that 8.0 had power to spare,would filp the truck in foward and reverse on take off
