Different dynos read differently, but the most you should see is 15-20% difference between a Mustang (low) and Dynojet (high). Sometimes larger differences occur, that aren't intentional... for example, the dyno operator could be a ------- idiot. I have met a few that were. 
324 whp on a Mustang would be 375 whp on a Dynojet, or at least I replicated 325 and 375 going between aforementioned Dyno Brands with Stevo's Civic.

JD, I trust the guy as some of my close friends know him personally. He's a douchebag but he knows his ----.

I would actually have Jd tune a car for me if he lived closer. I would also let Blundar do it. And I'd trust Leed to. But when it came down to it I realised All I was doing was reading about tuning all the time anyway and for the price of a tune I could get all the tools to do it with ,so I decided to learn to tune for myself.
Now if I had some really expensive high dollar bling factor setup I'd probably have Dave do it at zerolift.
But honestly all I have to lose is a 150 dollar f22. That at the moment loves 5 psi on an evo 8 turbo. I had to drop the boost back until I get my fuel pump from Xencron and a few other goodies. it was at 100% duty cycle around 8ish psi on the stock pump with 510cc injectors. This evo8 turbo from an 04 evo was totaly worth all the trouble. it's twin scroll and builds full boost at 2500 then the power comes on really smooth.
*L* then my tranny broke and it's sitting on jack stands waiting until thursday when I have time to put it back together.
