Well, others are peaking easily. I don't expect a fix, but from my perspective there's no reason it should be "flattening" out at 300. And by coincidence that's the stock number so I'm naturally wanting an answer.


That does seem a bit strange. I know you didn't feel as much of an increase as us 8at guys have but you did notice it was stronger for sure right? Mine easily gets to 310/320 HP and 325/350 tq. 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.
