Default anyone ever dyno a stock d16a6

I'm asking because on another forum some say it was rated low from the factory and has about 115 to 120 hp. I believe one guy dynoed his at 100hp at the wheels. I didn't see any sheets but could it be possible.

I believe Honda Tuner magazine did a test of the D16A6 on the Dyno and it made like high 90s in HP, and probably 80s in Torque, and that is to the wheels.

Do a search for "Honda Tuner" or something and see what you come up with.

I found this but is it believeable.
honda civic EX 4dr VRS 2.5 inch exhaust with a magnaflow muffler, iceman cold air intake, DC tri-y header and installed new factory injectors. i went and dynoed the car and had 119.3 HP and 107.7 ft/lbs torque. not bad for a 175,000 mile car. this was a third gear run w/ a ZC tranny and factory 14in. tires.

with tuning, yea, that sounds like a real number. a stock EX engine runs 125hp at the flywheel, so when you figure in the expected increase from the parts, and then take out the power loss from the drivetrain, 119 to the wheels seems reasonable.
