No, wait, 250 billion. Less than a third.
He's mostly that high because of the formula I use. I don't actually care where he is placed, as long as he's around at least 50% stronger than Buuhan, to justify that beatdown. But I don't see the need for a huge multi-fold gap between them like some do. His stomping of Buu wasn't particularly special.

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke

Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

Yeah, I don't use a formula at all. Although when I did he only ended up being 320 billion, because I didn't think that Vegeta get the power up from Bobbidi.
I'm re-watching Dragon Ball GT in full on my blog. Check it out if you're interested in my thoughts on the series as I watch through it!

He is around 350.000.000.000.000 IMO, though I may change it at some point later.

SSJ (Buu): 50,000,000,000,000

Base (DBM): 1,200,000,000,000
SSJ: 60,000,000,000,000
SSJ2: 120,000,000,000,000

That's high?

Anyway I have SSjin Vegetto at 500,000,000,000,000. Maybe even over 1,000,000,000,000,000!!!!!!

By ths standards of my old list, yes. Higher than is necessary. I could have him at just a third of that and it would still work, as I only have Buuhan at 170 billion or so.

Well, I think they are very well mannered and polite. Gohan's tend to get a bit out of hand when he gets angry, but I imagine it's just a phase. Piccolo's don't really get along with the others, but on the inside they're just a big softie. Krillin and Yamcha's power levels feel inadequate, but one day I'm sure they'll get over that. Chaotzu, on the other hand, needs to just let his go because they are useless, and he has better opportunities in professional cooking. Tien's just need to let Chiaotzu's go for his own health. Overall, though, as far a power levels go, this group seems like a pretty well rounded club, and I'm sure that one day they'll go far.

Yamcha admits that he's inept at fighting villains in the Android Arc and he was more useful flying Goku off, Tenshinan is actually pretty much Chiaotzu-less in the Cell arc so not too many attachment issues.

How did Piccolo miraculously got so strong after 1 week of training (he was 3.500 before training), especially when it's not important to the plot?

That's exactly why, plot.

He shown no inferiority to Gohan and Krillin (the two big ki's he felt) and was going to go and save them.

I guess he could be between Gohan (who I have at 250K) and Freeza (530K).

All we know is that he has vastly powered up, which could be a less than x2 power-up, and Nail could be impressed with his power because is higher than that of the average Namekian Warrior-type (they are around 3.000). We don't even know if he could sense the powers on Namek, and he most likely couldn't since he only sensed Freeza's power when he arrived. And it wasn't even necessary for the plot at all, since the moment he arrived, he merged with Nail.
