Sport display hp numbers

I'm running a DP and jb4 tune. Decided today to play with this sports display. The gauge goes up to 335 hp, but my car never peaked over 240. Is this display just a gimmick?

pretty useless. Just curious

same issue.
this is because the hp and tq numbers arent actually the real numbers.
they are just an estimated number based on calculations made by the car.
328 is capped at 240 cause the computer does not expect any numbers higher than that due to the fact that out of the factory the 328 does not make more than 240hq
