The 1970 Toro motors were factory rated at 375-400 HP and 500-510 ft-lbs of torque. How a 455 in a Toro, with a less radical cam, more restrictive exhaust, and E vs F heads could produce more HP and torque than a 1970 W-30 remains one of the great marketing mysteries of our time. It's also why many of us here don't pay a lot of attention to factory HP ratings.
