Yea that is definatly way on the high side. You don't have enough fuel for that whp. Why were you not there when they had it on the dyno? You should have at least gotten a printout of it. How many psi do you run regularly anyways?
 
They told me that they set it at 25lbs during the dyno tuning, just to get a high number to see what it could do, then they set it back down to 18lbs for normal daily driving.
 
Closed for bench racing. There's no way to tell.

Go dyno your car for the answer.
