Trap speed.

As in, your trap speed at the end of the quarter mile shows your true horsepower better than an inflated/improperly configured dyno.
So yes, if I trapped 107mph, and you trapped say, 103mph we can deduce that my car makes more power.
It's not a hard concept, I just think you misread it..

Dyno numbers usually mean nothing unless you have a standard to compare to. It's a tuning tool, not a bragging tool.

To the OP: if other Z's make around that power on that dyno, I think you have nothing to worry about and should be happy
