320HP in FX?

I notice that Infiniti is advertising 320 HP in the FX lately. Is it still the same VQ35 motor?

I think that there's at least one FX35 with ST that's at 300whp out there.

That's actually not true.
The engine is no different from the 315hp engine...no tunes nothing.
The new horsepower rating system went in favor of the engine and it rated 320hp instead of 315hp...
Other companies such as Acura for instance had to change theirs because they were originally 300hp on the RL and 270hp on the TL but now they are 290hp on the RL and 258hp on the TL.
Nothing has changed...just the specifications on how to rate hp by government standards
