I think what everyone is vocalizing is that they expected a SC 3L to hit 300 wHP because so many other people with 2.5L are hitting in the 270's with SC. I take it you are hitting 270 with the stock redline? That makes a huge difference!!!
The 2.5L Turbo has basically set the benchmark ...

keep in mind folks, the S/C runs off the engine. Anything that the engine must turn via a belt will result in a minor loss in HP(approx. 10 HP loss). Turbos are run with the exhaust of an engine, therefore they do not add another pulley to be turned by the engine. Downside to turbos is of course, turbo lag.

Does anybody else think it's odd that the 2.5l vs. 3.0l HP graphs in Demon's charts are equal at some RPMs, but the torque never is? In fact, the 3L torque curve is consistently ~10-15% higher at all RPMs, which would, of course, give 10-15% more HP at those same RPMs. At 6800 RPM the 2.5L HP curve is higher than the 3L one, and yet the 3L TQ curve is higher. Similar issues at ~4800RPM.

Very obviously one of the two curves [Tq or HP] is incorrect. Where is this data from?
