Essentially all you need is at least two (or more) maximal efforts of at least three minutes and less than 30 minutes duration, say one of five minutes and another of 20 minutes, although the choice is arbitrary and up to the individual.
I'm not wrong. Have been doing this for years.
Your interpretation of your FTP is incorrect.
Back to what I said before it's not a penis measuring device. You should provide some more files, do a test and see for yourself. Not doing so is blatantly lying to yourself for seemingly no apparent reason. I'm guessing that based on the fact that you only have 2 power files total and have to go search out absolutely everything you want to post on the topic that you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
You still haven't answered the simplest question:
1. Do you have more power files?
2. Have you done a 20 minute test with a power file to show your performance.
3. If not why have you not done one since the beginning of this thread and now. It takes 20 minutes.
Being SoCal I can understand that you may not have a trainer on hand to do the test easily but there are plenty of racers around there. Racers have trainers to warm up on. Go ask one to borrow it. Do the test and post it.
I seriously don't understand why you won't. If you're right then your test will easily show that. I'm sitting here in Chicago looking at 2 measly power files, but based on those files...your FTP ain't the 280-something you first assessed it to be. You can get some free coaching here and just take the test and email the file to me. You should know my email address. It's psimet at psimet. Super complicated. Even though this isn't a penis measureing device I can see you're very unsure of actually posting more data than what you have shared and feel the need to not share it so send it to me privately.
