Certainly not at reno's altitude.

But you can make a laptop road "dyno" read pretty much anything. Hell, even an actual dyno is pretty hit or miss for accuracy.

Edit: some quick math says 315 awhp = 437.5 hp at the crank... On a stock wrx turbo. I think Mayhem needs to recalibrate his laptop. That's more than just "optimistic".
