Let me interject here. First, I need to set the record-history of the car straight for everyone. There seems to be misinformation. Second and more so, I hope this thread doesn't turn into a vendor bashing one at all. Both vendors did a fantastic job with the car, and helping me attain my goals. Anyway, Josh, I wish you the best and hope this car does well by you!!
When I first had the car from LR, it did indeed made those numbers and was fast. Below is a thread with results after the VR Racing parts were added to the car. The car was a totally different one, for many reasons as well.

The car that you guys produced for me was great. When I drove it for the first time, it was very fast! Now, was it optimal? No, but then again every car can be fine tuned or improved upon. As you said, the products at that time weren't available, hence, you used what you did. After some time, I decided to go with the Vitesse Racing parts, for more RWHP and to improve various efficiencies. The results were stellar as well! While we had the parts on, unfortunately, we developed a mis-fire around 4K. We never found out what the problem while I had possession of it. As much time passed by, it was discovered that the hesitation issue I had was attributed to a wire coming lose inside the DME plug harness side. John @ VR found it out when Mr. Nasty sent him he DME harness. The rest is history...

The car did exactly what we said it did with our MAF, chips and injectors in at the time. With the same parts back on, it will do the same thing unless the engine has been hurt though all it's handling. Our bits were all removed by Rolex in order to try make more power once it left here even though it was 60 RWHP more then he expected. We heard it never ran quite right after that, but maybe it never had a chance to get properly sorted.

I understood when I purchased this car that it was going to need some tuning - I don't mean for these dyno results to create any sort of a discussion on Lindsey or Vitesse.
I did three runs. First one was 329.7rwhp/339.2tq at 15 PSI. The car was running way to rich especially in the upper RPMS - off the scale below 9.6 AF. Pulled out some fuel and the 2nd run was 350.7rwhp/339.3tq at 15 PSI. Still was running rich and off the scale. Third run was at 16 PSi and I did 372.8rwhp/347.4tq. This time in the mids I probably need to lean things out but still in the mid to low 10s above 5750 RPM. This is all on pump fuel and I didn't touch timing at all.
Below is the original Lindsey dyno sheet and my runs as well as video of the fastest run. The Lindsey dyno was with 55lb injectors, a different turbo, their MAF and mechanical timing. The car now has the Vitesse wasted spark ignition, Vitesse Stage 5 turbo, Vitesse MAF and 82lb injectors.

I've got the results with video I'll post up this afternoon. I was disappointed in the results but pleased with how well the car was responding to on the fly tuning with the smt6.
According to Lindsey the car dynoed at 460 rwhp / 406lbs tq at 18 PSI on pump fuel before it left them. I did two runs at 15 PSI and one at 16. Anyone care to throw some guesses out there?

On that car we got 406 at 14psi, so you should do better then that with the upgrades since installed . Based on that number, you should be about 420 at 15 and 435 at 16 with the same a/f. If it has a different turbo now, then it could be more or less depending on it's config.

OMG that torque curve... 200Ft Lbs comes on in 1500 RPM... wow... I bet she pulls like a freight train..
Very nice, little room for improvement, but very nice...

I am thinking I'll be buying one of those wastegate mufflers soon as I already have a cat delete pipe setup for it.
