No. That's just along the lines of what you get out of a Mustang Dyno in terms of charting. The scaling and plots differ from the accepted "standard" DynoJet readout to the point where you can't really compare the two.

Again, this is why dynos are merely devices to tune, not measure power. They give you the ability to repeatedly run the engine in 4th or 5th gear all the way to redline in a safe, controlled environment where you can monitor and thus tune the engine's vitals.

One could program a dyno to have a stock Toyota Corolla put down 400 WHP.

Here is what a realistic "330 WHP" looks like on a Z. This is the chart of Semtex's car with all the Stillen bolt-ons on a DynoJet:
