This was right in the changeover point from HSV enhanced being superseded by HBD for the factory power ups Type 2 VS V8 engines (VT Spec) when optioned as HSV 185/195 and HBD 195 will have a build plate - either HSV or HBD.

218hp converts to around 164kw (1hp = 0.749kw)
164kw at the wheels is rather high - considering your ute would have originally had either 168 or 179kw at the flywheel.
My guess is a happy dyno, or some serious engine work has been done.
