Because 340 + 34 doesn't make 360 :
But great stuff
It adds 34hp at a different rev point than what the max hp is at. So peak HP is up by 20, but HP is in increased by 34 HP at a lower or higher rev point. So hypothetically when the engine makes 200 HP at a lower RPM such as 4000 RPM, the HP is actually up to 234 at 4000 RPM which is a 34 HP increase but when it gets to max revs, it tops out at 360 which is only a 20 HP increase at that point. But they want to highlight that the overall power is increased, not just at the top of the rev range.
