Well, if that puts your FTP at 326w, that's a good chunk o' watts, but to motivate 280lbs, it probably doesn't feel spectacular. I ride peak season at 218lb and 300w FTP, and while it's good enough to keep me with the fast kids on rolling terrain, if it gets hilly, I'm pretty much going OTB on the climbs, and really humping to catch back up on the backside (while they're recovering). Long story short, I'm far from being one of the best, and could put another 20w of FTP to good use myself, so I can clearly understand how someone in that 320w range, but 60lb heavier, could be wanting more if they were ambitious.
