Those are some good results. You have to remember, on a vehicle like this, peak hp is not going to be that impressive. HP is purely a mathematical calculation from torque: HP = Torque x RPM ÷ 5252

For vehicles that have a lot of low-end torque and aren't designed to be high-revving, you're not going to see a huge hp increase. If the torque curve is flat you'll see some nice numbers but if it drops off like the Titan's you're not going to be impressed.

At the end of the day, what really matters, especially with a truck, is that the area under the torque curve is greater. That means a faster, more powerful truck.
