Ahh yes. Didn't think of that with the 28-28. Must have meant 18-28. Just over 600whp on a favourable dyno with Jungle Juice at 28psi....it's possible I suppose. But I would have to think my current 2.5ltr motor to be quite a bit more sophisticated or modified than his and we saw 520whp at 26psi. Can't see us getting an extra 80whp with 1-2 extra psi.

I have looked at hundreds of dynos and the bump in ST's dyno really is not explainable especially when looking at his mods. There would have to be a pretty big increase in VE around a narrow rpm band to result in what is shown. Mods push the power band lower or higher but I have not seen anything like what is shown here around a narrow band. If it were my dyno, I would want to see a repeat on the dyno to not believe it was some kind of error.

One thing just noticed - his run was corrected as "standard" vs the much more widely used/accepted "SAE"...the difference being different temperature/ambient pressure/humidity standards for the calculations.
SAE might read ~4% lower than "STD"....and in my own dyno runs of my 944, it can be a 5whp difference just by changing the drop down menu...and that's in the 120-130s whp range.
So if ST's run were corrected to SAE at -4%...he's at around 578rwhp.

The numbers does not really add up and the bump is hard to explain, even with a short massive boost spike. All this on 72 lbs injectors too? It is very very unlikely for this engine spec to exceed Patricks 2.5l in output per psi.
Fun fact. Normalizing the output in terms of boost and displacement this engine would be more efficient than my previous 3.0l 16v 968 9.5:1 CR turbo. Hard to believe..

Anyone who would accept an engine mapped like that, and posts it for consideration is nuts. They obliviously have no idea what they have or understand how the world works. Imagine driving that.
Maybe the nitrous went in a little too late.

It could be wheelspin. He doesn't say if the Land/Sea dyno is a hub dyno or if it reads power from the tires, but I've seen many dyno runs when wheelspin occurs and his dyno chart has a similar pattern. The sharp spike at 5600 shows how much torque the tires can handle, that's where they break free. It looks like the tires start to regain grip at 6200 as torque goes upward.
It's either that, or it was designed to be a glory run. It's possible to withhold boost and timing early in the run to keep things cool and knock-free, then ramp up boost and timing at high rpm for a large surge in power. Obviously this is not a streetable powerband, but it looks great on the dyno.
