go figure.
Easy, he added more fuel to be safe but the added fuel reduced heat of combustion and therefore reduced power. If it wasn't detonating before even though it was leaner, he could gain some of it back probably by leaning it back out. It isn't necessarily just the dyno though at 500+hp it could be run to run and dyno to dyno variation too.
