Funnily enough I literally just watched a 'murican vid from a garage dynoing a customer's new fk8.

Made 281whp.

One thing I'm not clear on though.. this model has a quoted 316bhp (10 over the fk2) yet every US review I've watched says it has 306. Did the UDM get a slightly detuned engine? Did they get the fk2 engine? Seems weird that it's different.

281 at the wheels is about right taking into account the transmission losses.
US fuel isn't lower in octane. It's just rated differently to here.
