However, since the US doesn't have any regulations prohibiting the advertisement of temporary output figures like the Europeans do; we'll see advertised numbers attained within the Ecoboost's "overboost" feature, which provides an uptick of about 7-8%. Most likely in the 330-340hp range.

And this was before the newest trickle of info that the new 2.3 output is "over" 310, instead of the previous 305+ we've all heard.
