Engine tuning aside, since were discussing determining the most accurate whp.
Why would you believe its more accurate to base the whp calculation off of the amount of variable electrical current applied to a magnet that produces a brake effect on the roller compared to measuring whp by computing the accelleration of a fixed rotational mass.

There isn't a contraption that accurately measures HP. It measures torque. HP is the result of that calculation.
I choose to use an eddy based load to simulate real world conditions in steady state. WOT dyno pulls are just for baselines to get the car dialed in until we get to the track or just the street for that matter. I like being able to load a vehicle to the point where I can see how it is reacting under various critical conditions.
The "calculation" of a numerical value is of little relevance to me.

Not to spark even more debate but I don't think anyone has noticed the letters "WC" by the torque and horsepower. "Weather Control" This could mean two things. This mustang has a Weather Station running or it's like BR where it had one at one point but it's turned off and the operator hasn't de-installed anything.
If the Weather Station is indeed running, getting the actual correction percentage that was done on this pull would give more data on the information in question.

Maybe its just me but i have some more mods and on a Dyno Dynamics dyno which reads very close to the same pulled for 290HP. Those readings on a mustang dyno seemed kinda high to me for those mods anyway unless thats one HELL of a tune.

I'm interested. Did you guys log boost by chance? I would really like to see some data that validates the gains. Also, I might be willing to try the wastegate as well. I'd like to see a little more data though as money is tight. Does your car hold boost 100% or something? Maybe Casey can post some logs with timing and fuel removed so we can see.
Are you talking about an actual wastegate, or a wastegate actuator with preload?

I dont log boost because it really dont help me tune any, lol. But i can tell you it never dropped past 21psi on the dyno and im sure thats why his tork dropped. But from what I can tell you is that their is a certain boost controller out there, that can make a stock turbo hold 22 to 24psi all the way through the gear. Heres the vid for you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxSHpnLPqWY ENJOY

I never indicated that misconception. I know how the various dynos function, I learned in school but wanted to know what your thoughts were.
You've got the right tool for doing your job and that's what you care about. IMO Dyno -> Dyno comparison is a waste of everyones time unless you have a baseline on both, which I said in my first post.
