You are right, it is interesting, as after seeing the 235hp, 275ft-lbs at the wheels printed on my late '05 Stage 1 install sheet, I called the Mopar Performance Hot Line, and was told that yes they changed the Stage 1 rating to the wheels on the PT when the 230hp plastic intake manifold engines came out in mid '05, and that it had to make more hp if they were going to sell very many to owners that already had 230hp off the showroom floor, and yes I was talking about the Crew, several (at least 4 that I know of), late '05s & '06s were dyno'd at the specs I mentioned above, and then when I mentioned the Stage 1 install sheet measuring at the wheels, everybody that had a newer one dug it up and had never noticed the
"measured at the wheels" on the Mopar dyno graph before I brought it up.
But who knows the minds of the hp Advertisers.
