so let me get this straight-it is NO the same N52B30 engine and it does NOt even make 272 but instead makes 268? ANd the N52B30 makes 258? but they are 2 seperate engines?

So if that is the case does anyone know then how to suck out more hp out of the N52B30 engine? Maybe in the 270ish range?
Dinan CAI, exhaust and tune.

A horse actually has more hp in Europe than in the US. It has something to do with the oats. I think we add alcohol to the oats here which results in fewer hp to a horse here.

Other way around.

1HP=1.0138697710995586PS

Any particular one? Remember European horses don't have horsepower, they have Pferd Stark.
