Honest shops using Dynojet 248 and reporting SAE corrected, smoothing 5 are consistent shop to shop. My modded '05 was on 4 different Dynojets and all were within a few HP/TQ.
It must be fairly easy for a shop to manipulate a printed/posted graph judging from some that have been posted here.

Corrected numbers can be misleading unless you are at or below sea level. A 700rwhp car at my 6800 foot elevation means nothing. The correction factor here is 28%. That means a car making 700rwhp at sea level makes only 504rwhp here (nitrous is immune to elevation losses because it is its own air supply). A car will move like its uncorrected numbers measure but weather will affect its day to day results. To keep things comparable, you need to compare corrected numbers. To determine what you can run where you live, you need to compare uncorreted numbers. A car here can run 900rwhp on the stock shortblock because its about 650rwhp uncorrected. You build your car for where you live unless you travel to other elevations with it. I dont so 1100rwhp is fine for me but its only 800 at sea level.

On a DynoJet there was a variation of 16.51 rwhp, 404.08 Uncorrected vs 387.57 Corrected (Smoothing 5) and I am below sea level.
The Tuner didnt believe there shouldve been a 16+ drop because the weather was perfect for tuning that day and the day before.
