Default Think they forgot to mention the flux capacitator!

I can see where they would exaggerate the 360chp with the "suggested" increase from the manufacturers. Obviously we live in the real world though, but 490tq?? WTF!!

Default hp is probaby close... torque, nahhh

Maybe they're measuring in Nm (Newton Metres)

Default Lol, he must have the secret sauce. I generally tell people 325/375, which is pretty conservative...

My before/after dyno with EPL custom tuning was as follows:

before: 206 hp / 231 tq
after: 277 hp / 336 tq

If you do the math using a static percentage of drivetrain loss, I'm probably closer to 345hp. But, I don't think drivetrain losses are truly a static percentage, so that type of calc is misleading.

Default Yep. 2.7T with stage 1 tuning. I opted to have EPL custom tune the software for my car...

Which, according to Tony @ EPL, should yield slightly better results than an off-the-shelf software.

Default I usually rate my motor's output in JiggaWatts too.

Metric system... or something...
