I think we all realize that factory ratings were often inaccurate, but if the factory said in publications/stated that the RAIV had 370 hp, that's the "factory rating." At least that's what I understand it to be, and I think that's the common understanding.
Surprising that the RAIV is only rated at 4 hp more than the RAIII, which came in at 366 hp.
