Those numbers are for C-code 6.2L engines running hot boost.
I will have an intercooler and water injection.

The only 2 numbers I care about is 20+mpg towing and being able to maintain speed on slight inclines and be able to crest east coast mountians at more than 35mph (afton mountian VA, I-64 mile marker 100, west bound ).
