There must be some sort of error. Perhaps the "330 WHP" is extrapolated to BHP from WHP as I've seen done in the past many times. I don't think anyone is foolish enough to believe that the car actually made 330 WHP bone-stock on a Mustang Dyno. HAH, even if the NISMO actually does make that kind of power...it's the slowest 330 WHP, 3300 lb. car in the world.
Regardless of how false this information is...dyno figures outright mean close to nothing. The only purpose of a dyno is to tune and/or draw a comparison to a base-line. In this case, it means absolutely nothing what the raw figure is so long as the scale is consistent to all your other runs you will measure.

Hey...... Believe every bit someone made 330 rwhp on a bone stock car. Happens every day including people who don't even actually own one.
Dyno data useful? Yes and no. Agree there are so many variables and you see dyno sheets that for whatever reasons, vary as much as 50 hp from one dyno to another on equal modded cars. To get accurate comparisons it needs to be same dyno under the same conditions. You can easily get a 10-12 hp difference between dyno runs on a hot car vs cooler car especially if the hood is closed as it will heat soak the intake and MAF's.
Another thing is with a bolt on...you bolt it on. Whatever you get is what you get as you can't affect what the outcome is. However, on the tuning aspect a dyno is invaluable. Know it doesn't sound like much but Friday the Cobb tuning software finally seems to work and picked up 3-4 hp just from fuel/air tuning. Reviewing the logs and next time will work on MAF and timing settings. Think there might be another 4-5 hp in the car especially in the midrange where it appears to be pulling some timing out.
BTW....it did make 330 rwhp (Std). Not bone stock however.
