Well, the goal wasn't to see who had the most HP or to make as much HP as mechanically possible. 500 HP at the wheels isn't gonna get it done on a road course in a front wheel drive Focus without nitrous for the low end. And we didn't use nitrous since it wasn't allowed. The goal was to win the entire Street Tuner Challenge. Some of the FS crew wanted more power and some didn't think it was needed for what we were trying to achieve, which again was to win the entire thing. And its not like we had as much time as we needed to do whatever we wanted. There is a set schedule and there was no time to screw around and test a bunch of different hardware configurations. We had just enough time to make one crucial power related change and that was it.

No one here KNOWS the end result HP and TQ, nor do they KNOW the end result for the show, but that will be made public soon enough.
