Yeah, 600 whp tune. One thing to remember, though. That was 600 WHP SAE corrected, which is going to inflate the numbers a bit. Actual power output without the correction is actually 550 WHP. So, with that said, the traps are better represented by the actual power output.
Also, the other thing that has an impact on the traps mis-representing the power is "POWER UNDER THE CURVE". The car makes awesome peak power, but it's all up top (high rpm). Being that I'm on a stock bottom end, I can't rev the motor out as high as is needed to get the best results. If I were able to bring the car to 8000+ rpm, the traps would increase significantly, without increasing boost pressures, because I would be keeping the car in it's powerband, and not shifting out of it just when the going gets good.
