When measuring on a sliding scale, there is no way to benchmark performance.
Every dyno is calibrated a little differently, WHP figures are generally useless and only give a hint of the difference. You can only tell the true difference if they have ( and did) dyno the car before touching it.
It's not like their car started out making heaps less power than any other stock BRZ- The dyno just reads differently.

If the car in stock form dynos at a measured 300HP at the wheels, it'd still be the same speed as any other stock BRZ. Do you get what I'm going for here?

Peak numbers are useless anyway. Power under the curve is really where your focus should be on any dyno graph.
