You cannot compair readings from different machines, it is invalid data. You cannot even compair readings from 2 machines that are the same brand and model. I'm getting the feeling that most people do not understand this! Anybody that tells you they can measure the drivetrain loss's because of the # of rollers the machine has is not being truthfull! Drivetrain loss's are educated guess's at best. A chassis dyno will tell you if your clutch is sliping, but as far as it being able to tell you any other loss's such as frictional loss's etc. it can not do it. 
those readings may not be gospel, but you can't argue there was not an OBVIOUS gain. even eric g. said, he was taking it easy putting it in 2nd gear because of all the new found tq. again, i am not trying to sell/push/etc these headers... just offering a solution to the guys need for more tq.
