Real Cars
My brothers CLS55 was right off the dealer lot and taken to Dyno-Comp for a few pulls. Ken from Renntech was running the dyno and on the first pull it put down 430whp and like 450wtq I was like. Ken check your settings thats way to high. So Ken checked them and it was all good. We pulled the ECU out and send it over to Renntech to be read. It turned out to be the latest update of MBZ software. His car was running fat too; somewhere in the 10's. I like my A/F to be in the 12's
The very next day an SL55 came in and put down 380whp.
I really think some of these 55k's in cars like the CLS55 are rated more around 500hp rather than 469hp. I feel a hand build motor will always have an opportunity to out preform another of the same type... We joke around that some motors are build on a Friday and others on a Monday.

Take the 4G63 motor found in EVOs and the DSMs (Eclipses/etc) - you better damn well believe that community knows every single god damned difference between every year engine. They know everything, every damned thing. We, by comparison, don't know jack. We can't even swap cams into our car and get it to run right. It's kind of pathetic really.
Sorry about the rant

I learned the hard way that dyno numbers can be all over the place. I've seen dynojet numbers vary considerably from dyno to dyno, mustang dyno numbers also varying greatly from dyno to dyno, and lately even dyno dynamics numbers varying from dyno to dyno. I guess it all boils down to the chosen settings by the operator when they first setup their dyno. In the end, dyno numbers should really only be used for delta comparisons before and after mods.
