Just as an FYI, unless it only had a gallon of gas, and the car was tuned for like 100 octane, the dyno pull you saw was a sham.
Either the operator was doing something or maybe the car wasn't warmed up in the first run. My car gained 10-15 WHP from the first pull to the last pull when oil temp went from 180 to 210
