HP up there when I'm winding it out and usually about 330 tq with just a 3 second stab at the throttle. At times 350 when I'm really using all torque.

BTW When oil temp is high (around 250/255) the reading wont go as high though. So it does measure something.
yeah, i find it strange. Hearing you guys say it easily spikes is puzzling to me. I've NEVER seen HP even close to 300. My car is running fine, and yes I do feel more power, albeit less than you 8at guys.

Problem for me is if the displays are a "gimmick" how the hell does it land PERFECTLY at 300 torque then. It literally flattens out there...i can push pedal way deeper and I get nothing but 300. HP, not even close. Car is moving for sure though while this is happening.
