There isn’t a normal day, but there are averages. Standard atmosphere is 1013 mb at sea level

The SAE horsepower standard defines a "Standard Day"

If you don't get full power after 500 miles you should take it to the dealer to checkout...A few years ago some of the Jeep TrackHawk owners had the same complaint as you. It was discovered the key fob was programmed wrong and was limiting power like the black key does.

First off. Have a little patience and keep your pants on. Give the thing a proper break-in. Do all of the recommended break-in procedures over about 1000 miles or so and change the oil. Now you’re ready to take it to a shop that has a dyno. Get a standard conversion RWHP number and bring that here to get opinions on that. Don’t rely on the gizmos in the car to tell you anything.

The DA for SAE horsepower ratings is 1300 or 1400 I think.

See, they don't even consider lowlifes like Floridians.

That thing should rip from day 1 mile 1.
Are you in ECO mode? That’s a 500hp setting.
