It's been dynoed...
Plain and simple....thanks to Marcus from dragging me away from my project (The home theatre setup sounds awesome by the way) and being such a horrible influence 
:p
My scanner decided it didn't feel like working so I had to take pictures of the dyno sheets...(performed on a dynojet)

Do you know if those numbers are corrected or uncorrected HP? Let us know. I've seen a bunch of guys talking about what these cars are pushing and I'm curious if we are all talking the same thing. I am planning of doing some mods and want to have a good idea based on you guys. Thanks for the help.

Yes those numbers are RWHP and as for correction, yes...CF factor of 1.0.
It was great weather for a dyno Saturday....65 degrees, 13% humidity (maybe it was 19%?), and pressure of about 29

At 15% he's making 511bhp and 560btq. Well beyond factory specs. We have 400rwtq at nearly 2000rpm!

He said the correction factor used here was 1.0. If true, that means the corrected numbers and actual numbers are the same. The reason dynos use correction factors is to account for wide variations in temperature, humidity, etc. that affect performance. On a very hot, high humidity day the CF is going to be over 1, raising the actual numbers. On a cool, dry day the CF will be less than 1, lowering the actual numbers. This is designed to allow comparison of different cars/dyno runs even though the conditions were different (note: I'm not saying this works perfectly, just that that is the intent.) In short, the corrected numbers are normally the more accurate ones, although here it doesn't appear to make any difference.
