It doesn't really make sense how a larger motor with a the same blower with the same PSI is making less power unless its really d-tuned. Which I doubt.

Honestly, either that PSI number is off or the car is really, really underrated... by a big margin. 100hp almost.

Now, if you want to go there, VMP has a TVS in his personal car that hits 745rwhp on pump and 810rwhp+ on C16. The blower is turning over 20 psi though and it may be out if its efficiency range... not 100% sure on that.
.

I reread the press release and I cant see where it says the 2013 will run 15 psi in stock factory trim.
