No... the engine is capible of putting much more power down. Hell, my 89 Honda engine puts out 86HP if that an I am sure I could almost double that if I was dumb and rich. You can get loads of power out the the S54, just a matter or how deep your pocket runs. For a racing set up the engine is good for 440+ HP, street wise, I couldnt tell you.
