I made 405hp on the mustang dyno at a little over 7 psi at max hp so however you look at it that is close to 465-475 on a dyno jet. Simple fact is every dyno is different and every shop sets their up differently. most shops set theres to read higher because it makes the customer happier and gives them bragging rights. Dyno's are one thing a tool to help the tuner get the most out of what they are trying to tune. some tuners are conservative to ensure the final product is dependable and will last others try to get every little ounce out of the vehicle and this can lead to longevity of the system. Either way and I think someone else said it earlier it doesnt matter what numbers are put down it comes down to how happy you are at the end of the day.
Two dynos reading a difference of 385 -> 455 is insane. I don't care what brand of dyno, that' s just flat out insane. My NA engine had a difference of about 3-4% between a Mustang and DynoJet result.

Something else was going on when one of those readings was taken. Quite possibly a mis-calibrated dyno at one of the locations, or complete incompetence on the part of one or both of the dyno owners.
