*SAE certified. A new voluntary power and torque certification procedure
developed by the SAE Engine Test Code committee was approved March 31, 2005
. This procedure (J2723) ensures fair, accurate ratings for horsepower and torque
by allowing manufacturers to certify their engines through third-party witness
testing. GM was the first auto manufacturer to begin using the procedure and
expects to use it for all newly rated engines in the future.
