Our charts are shown the way they are just so its clear that we are not taking credit for power we do not make. As to the reason why they are being underrated... your guess is as good as ours.
I am an idiot, forgot this was a 28i for a moment. Those numbers are bang-on for whp numbers from the N55 engine.
