I don't mean to be a party pooper but 214hp at the wheels certainly does not equate to 301bhp at the flywheel, transmission losses for a fwd are more likely to be 18-22%, there is no way you'll lose almost 30%... more realistically you'll have 260-270 bhp which is still quite an acheivement, most of the guys that I know of making 300hp are running 25lbs boost, simply can't do it with such low boost.
Remember a dyno is just a tuning tool, actual numbers aren't accurate, I've seen engines make 250hp on one dyno and 1 week later make 220 on a different dyno.
Take it to the drag strip, do a low 12 sec 1/4 mile and then everyone will believe you are making 300hp
Other than the 'funny' numbers it's a nice looking build

Nice build, congratultions. However I have to agree with Dattman. More like 214hp at wheels and maybe 250hp at engine. Cant see speedo on video! Time to get to a track and test it out. Much safer than the roads
