A lot of people are doing dynos and calculations and the consensus seems to be that the new STI is actually making like 320bhp. It's negligible in difference, but if it's true, that's kind of cool. I personally think though the difference in power numbers on dynos is more because of the improved chassis, resulting in more power getting to the ground.
Opinions?

Where are you finding those numbers? All I can find is stock that are all well below 300 and some tunes that push 320.
Edit: Oh wait never mind I miss read your post! Ya looks like around 320. Odd that they wouldn't claim every horse they could on the specs though since it is the critical number to so many nowadays (not a slam but a fact)
