I've coded my F25 to show horsepower and torque "real time" statistics on the sport display. I've got the N55 engine.

But horsepower rarely gets past 200, and torque goes to 400 quite easily. Since specs for the engine peak the torque at 295, does that just mean that what is shown on this display is pretty worthless and inaccurate information?

Why would numbers be so wrong? Where is this information being generated? What are others of you seeing?
