1) Valid point that I had already considered.

3) The difference between 93 and 94 octane isn't much really. 105 octane e85 is a different story.
4) The dyno should compensate for the altitude difference but if not, it hardly explains why your result would be higher when it should be lower.
Think for a moment. 227 whp and 204 wtq from an early ESC setup running pump gas, stock exhaust and and BRZedit tune? Does that honestly makes sense to you when the same car only makes 200/175 on a Dynojet?

Well, you are missing something big -- you're comparing max power numbers. We all know boost tapers off towards redline anyway, and we're okay with that.
Everything else you're saying does make sense, and I agree that we don't have tons of perfect before/after comparisons for perfect numeric comparison. But we can always look at line shape, and I'm pretty damn happy with it.
I'd love to do an area under the curve analysis when I have time, but it should be pretty apparent just by looking at charts. We make significant power over stock and even over other boost applications down low, and that's a ton of fun. It just feels like you put a nice strong on-demand V6 into the car without the extra weight.
You don't get the full picture from max power numbers...
