All you needed is a bullshit correction factor. Seriously, 300whp out of an 11psi GT2560R?

Not 300whp bullshit claims, I don't know how FM still pulls that off (well, scratch that look at the 300$ center console group buy on m.net.) Look at boosted car's 1/4 mile mph's at altitude vs N/A cars at the same vs both at regular alt and you will see boosted cars are barely hurt compared to N/A at the same alt.

Actually my calcs for my car show my 550s maxing out just shy of 300 rwhp. and by maxing, I mean max safe duty of around 80%.
I wonder what my car'd do on their dyno if I'm 250-260 at sea level at 9.5 psi.

I'm very interested to see how Jeremy responds. If it's simply a stock '99 motor w/3"exhaust, then it should be routinely repeatable on any '99 Miata w/3"exhaust. And I know that nobody has ever gotten that close to 300whp with such low boost. Not even on a 2860, let alone a 2560. Hell, I don't even think I've seen any T2 series make 300whp at such low pressure.
I don't know what the latest Hydra version is, but if the one the Caterham was running is the newest, maybe this is FM's marketing ploy to get people to upgrade.
With their long and distinguished history of "questionable" dyno reporting, they've gotta konw the regulars are gonna jump in and **** all over them for this.

I'd like to know what Hydra does to make so much power. Apparently I'm naive, and don't understand why fuel and spark calibrations make more power on different platforms. Its not atomizing the fuel any better, not running any more manifold pressure...basically their claiming the old link wasn't properly tuned, and now they're running nitromethane in the caterham.
