345 hp in 1986 is not a bad figure, considering how crappy most engines were back then

Would anybody tell me if I was getting... stupider?

I'm not sure why a twin turbo would have so little HP. That is strange. Could it be a way for the HP to seem low for insurance reasons?

i have even seen numbers much lower than that.
Now that i have cleared that up i just wantted to say you are correct
the stock corvette was still rather slow for a V8 how-ever if you gut out the catalistic converters the numbers will sky rocket into the 4's

My dad has a 86 Vette with 415 HP. Twin Turbo's, Exauhst mods and a whole bunch of other stuff in the engine. It took us a lond time to do this but it was very worth it. Back then 345 HP was a lot. There were a lot of cars in 1986 that didnt even have 100 HP. There is a lot of power in the Vette engine's.
