Maybe, but US dyno results have been debated for a long time now - their methodology often seems to be whack the boost up and hope the engine stays together long enough to post some nice figures. Seeing as the engine only needs to sustain 10-15 seconds or so of abuse then they can get higher figures than those with a more traditional approach to tuning might get. It also goes hand-in-hand with how they use the power - drag racing, which again only needs the car to make the power for a few seconds.

I have seen so many footages and postso n many forums with people claiming their cars are 1500BHP/2k BHP+ how true that is i dont know but I think such regular occurances seems rather unreal but I can be wrong
