Yep, some 96 (and some 97) engines had about 10 less whp and compression 
pressures over 200 psi.  I forget who started calling it Slow Ass 96 syndrome.  
The exact cause of the problem remains a mystery.  The timing chain off
by a tooth was not the cause.  I got put on Nissan's "bad guy" list because
of it.

I remember some sort of theory that there was something wrong specifically with the 96's because they were slower at the track and dyno'd with less HP or something like that.  There were a few 96's though (Jeremy Keppler) that didn't fall into that category for some reason.  I think I remember some sort of cooky theory that all of the 96's had the chain off by a tooth or something like that
