Nope, never did. I wasn't trying to comment on the dyno really.
What I was insinuating is the Church's dynapack in SoCal is notorious for being the most "optimistic" dynapack in the country.
Our dynapack tends to read ever so slightly lower than the dynojets in the area, however that dataset (cars that have run on both) is pretty small.
What I was trying to say, is even if the dyno does read a little high, the torque from 4000-7000rpm is impressive. Whether or not it's 280ft-lbs or 310 ft-lbs according to different dynos doesn't really interest me, how fast that set-up would be in a fully trimmed miata, let alone a locost, does.
Anyway, I should get back to installing a turbo in miata, all of these dyno plots get me excited...

Yes, WRX. Bone stock motor & exhaust + tuned standalone. Should have mentioned RWD conversion (818 donor). Picked up 10 over stock. I don't think that reads high at all.
Agree, but I don't think there is a miscalibration on the dyno. It reads usually ~14% lower than the dynojet around the corner.

Heikki's locost has far superior exhaust than what you can normally stuff into a Miata tub as well as an external gate. The engine is also overbored and forged down low, with headwork and oversized valves up top. It flows much better than what you'd typically bolt a 2560 to.
