i.e. regardless of how rich, just too much timing for 15+psi

Rogue is correct. The 3rd and 4th gear runs will come out within a few hp of each other (for example, on my car approx. 300rwhp, 3rd or 4th came to within 10hp of each other). I use to have a mustang 500SE dyno at the shop.
As far as making hp numbers, all you need to do on a mustang to make high (or low) numbers is change the weight of the dyno in the parameter settings. Takes 3 seconds. Boom 600hp out of a stock 2.5L NA Instant bragging rights.

Now, just a breakdown of those numbers at what boost and then we would know the most effecient setups.
I.e the highest hp @ lowest boost would be the most effecient/effective set up.

Dynos are fantastic for tuning and troubleshooting problems that you can't reproduce on the street easily.....being able to do hp runs is just a fun feature of each dyno, but you should interpret that number as an approximation.

Geez ...if we can throw any old thought and car out here...... f' it where is the option for 4000hp (I've done that before).
Hell just 3 weeks ago I made 1800 hp with a thumper 106 turbod SBC.
FYI I'm under the 400-450 range (for the 951).
I really don't think it's cool that people are just throwing numbers out w/o doing ****.....

There has been too many varied hp reads with similar mods to give much creedence to this poll. We've seen variances of +/- 100whp with almost identical mods throughout the world. I still maintain that US figures seem higher than the ROW and sure that some of this could be down to superior tuning but I don't think all of it is...sooooo.....Anyway I hope to add to this silly poll soon and this will be off an engine dyno. Saying that, how much load is dialed into this dyno I don't know. Guess it doesn't matter. It's only a number. Still got to put the rubber down on the track...that's where it counts!!!
