You may have gains in the power band, but not at peak numbers. See if you can get the shop to load the runs on a memory stick and load the files into Winpep you will have a more accurate representation.

If your car is still stock with 15,000 miles or more you may want to dyno again down the road. I don't think driving 5900 miles will yield any real measurable change in the engine power. Too many variables when measuring such small changes in power.
I'm pretty sure smoothing was on for all runs... They used the same profile for all 6 runs... And before my very first run they created a folder for me and used the IS350 profile...

I personally think that there are too many variables and there are not enough runs for a statistical calculation to verify significance even if the variables did NOT exist.
