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 or what people are comparing all other forced induction cars to. The fact that you are after a totally different end-goal will not register with some. I understand fully what you are after and commend you on the results you got.
That said, don't be too unhappy that others were hoping you would carry the torch of 3L SC superiority. We'll have to depend on buckshot to do that! You have to remember that a well tuned high compression NA 3L will pull 215 Ft-lbs of torque. Granted you beat that up but it is in the back of peoples minds.
Anyway, have a blast with the car. 277 and 229 will put it in front of most every other cdw-27!

277 is at 6800 rpm. Least you understand I WAS NOT AFTER PEAK HP NUMBERS and I didn't want to lead people on with the run of 302 FWHP because that is not how I do it, nor is running on a track with out the spare, or removing my subwoofer. I want to see the results that I have every day driving on 91 gas which is plentiful, listening to my sub, knowing I can fix a flat, not some numbers that are only attainable for a day, only to put all the stuff back in your car, then brag about the fantastic numbers.

Enough drama this set the stage for all other combos out there now we know how stock like 3L's respond to boost, and buckshot can follow through with a completly modded one, and you Tom can show us how strong the stock rods are with that turbo installed on your 3L. Great learning experience going on!!
