I might expect a tad more out of the 370z, since we might experience slightly less drivetrain loss...shorter wheel base, shorter driveshaft..etc..etc.

IIRC, the first HR Sharif dynoed was right at 245 whp on his DD. They added an exhaust and I "think" test pipes also.. and it got to ~260 or so whp.
Based upon this particular dyno, and if my memory is correct. I'm not seeing much to be all that happy about. Of course the peak doesn't tell the whole story, but still.

Our dyno reads very low, compared to a typical DynoJet, or the high-on-crack dyno paks. So take the numbers with a huge grain of salt. The engine in the 370z should make the same power as the engine in the G37..they are identical in all respects. Really nothing to be dissappointed about guys.

Like you said, it should put out the exact same as a G37. There is a more compact driveline that may give a slightly higher reading. But on regular wheel-driven dynos, there will be some additional loss due to the wider tires. So it's all probably a wash... And I would assume this is a pretty "green" vehicle, and Nissan builds a tight engine... so this should be at the low end. But by no means, will it dyno much differently than a G37... I would bet the ecu tuning of the G37 and 370Z are pretty much the same...

Yes, but this is a Dynapack, not a Dynojet. Dynapacks, while generally considered more accurate, read about 8%-10% higher than Dynopacks and about 15%-20% higher than Mustang dynos, partially because the drivetrain loss of actually turning the wheels and the losses caused from transferring that power from the tires to the roller are no longer there - I have heard of Dynapacks being calibrated to give Dynojet numbers however. Also, when I say accurate it is not to say that the number it gives is better but rather that the results are more consistently repeatable, giving a better view of how much power you've actually added via mods when you dyno again and when comparing to other cars dynoed at the same place. I believe is the more useful way to use a dyno plot in most cases anyway, given that the day's conditions and calibration of different dynos can result in wildly different numbers even for the same car, make comparing different dyno plots from across the country an inexact science at best.

The Dynojets I've been on have read very close to the Dynapack. The Mustang was every so slightly lower.
The only dynos that you can't fudge the results with calibrations or load are Dynojets since they are not load based dynos. They will read the most consistently. All the load based dynos (Mustang, DD, Dynapack) can have large fudge factors with calibrations and load in both directions so it's completely impossible to stick a percentage difference on them.
