261whp does seem a bit low... but hey, it makes me feel better 
BTW how come they didn't put up any fans to drive some more air according to vehicle's speed? Isn't that something that would dramatically affect the power output? Less air=less power, no?

I ask the same question, but since it was free I did not want to push the Issue,
How many miles on your car? Any upgrades or bone-stock?

That # is correct for a 545....When I dyno'd my car at rpi, the rear wheel hp was 250...After the rpi bolt ons, I was around 263....RPi runs the dyno with the hood closed....Running the car with the hood open will not give you accurate results....Who are you plannig on buying a supercharger from?
