well, here we go........
Here are the results
Warning: I am going to get another run done at a shop that has more experience w/ MB cause this place gave me some strange readings. You'll see what I mean.
more to follow:

now, these #'s are also after the car was driven 50+ miles to Auburn from Olympia, Wa. so these #'s represent REAL WORLD output, not a perfect run, which I was hoping for, but hey

splish splash....
I need a bath!!
This is what happens when you live in the N.W.
My roommate drove the car to work for the dyno run and didn't get a chance to wash it, but such is life..............
it only looks like this 30% of the time during the winter, and .3% the rest of the time
I know, I know....
BAD MB OWNER, BAD!!!!!!!!

dj-po, the weird line your seeing is either the computer making adjustments when the motor is hot and seeing detonation. Mostly likely by looking at the speed, about 45 MPH, is the transmission shifting from 1st-2nd gear. It is torque converter spike that normally occurs but can skew a dyno run. Your run should have been done in either 2nd or 3rd for the best accuracy.
There is a kickdown cable that can be removed to show what the motor is doing from 2000 RPMs on up. Manual tranmissions don't have this problem. Also I don't see SAE correction for atmospheric conditions. Dynojet dynamometer print does a correction tempature, humidity, and elevation. That way they can be compared to other dynojet dynos during differ conditions.
Your numbers look good. Probably putting more than any new stock C-kompressor. I love those wheels especially with the H&R kit. Looks sharp.
Are you going back? I'd love to see a run with a the cat-back exhaust dropped.

The power you are making is about 4 to 5% down from what it should be. Without a "before" run to compare to no one knows where the deficit is coming from. In any event, the numbers look good, particularly the nice fat torque band through the mid-range. Certainly this has made a significant change in the way the vehicle drives.

I am a little confused with your calculation..
for 23% loss it should be 1:0.77 x 160.7 = 208.7 hp
for 27% loss it should be 1:0.73 x 160.7 = 220.1 hp
please correct me if I am wrong..
But I am still learing how to properly calculate rear wheel hp with to find out fly-wheel hp.
