Dynos are just measuring tools. Especially load bearing dynos (Mustang Dyno) that can be configured to provide larger or smaller hp numbers. So comparing different Mustang Dynos is going to provide no useful comparative data. It's also worth mentioning that power gains can be generated by not only making power, but also presenting a baseline (pre-tune) pull that makes low power. This doesn't have to be done will ill-intention as some runs just make more power than others with no changes to the tune.

All the end of the day, regardless of what tuning software you use (OFT, BRZedit or Ecutek), we are all playing with the same tools. So one one option is going to make power power than the other all things equal. That said, I would be hesitant to ever say that X tune makes Y HP over stock. Because that is most certainly not going to be the case in different cars and on different dynos and on different days. I've been doing this way to long to get caught up in the numbers game. Because that is really what it is most of the time, a game.
