Nice runs...
But also know that cool down runs normally attribute to a much higher Rwhp than actual..
Reason being is the engine is not running at normal operating temps, if you keep cooling down the car.
Also, if your Dyno shop has the data saved, have them re-graph your last run 3
You will want to have the data graphed SAE Corrected & Smoothing set to 5
Correction Factor STD numbers with smoothing Set to 0, will also always show much higher numbers as well.

Question: so if the advertised HP is not really what exists, is it safe to assume the same of other automakers?? I mean, why would Lexus continue stating ~416hp when that is clearly not the case. We have seen several stock dynos on here that back up the OPs data.

Once you factor in the 16-20% drive train loss, you will get the number of Rwhp..
Which is the power being put down at the Rear Wheels.
Typical stock IS-F's put down approx 330 to 350 Rwhp SAE Corrected on a Dynojet
The OP's dyno graph showing the "367 Rwhp" number - with a Standard correction factor, is very Generous for stock numbers.

Don't forget that different engine layouts have different drivetrain loss, and sames cars with different transmissions (automatic vs manual, etc...) will have different drivetrain losses.

All possibly true, but not the case with the IS F. One engine, one gearbox, one layout - they're all the same.

For those of you who want to mod your cars and re-dyno.. please note that drive train loss is not a fixed percentage. It's a fixed number.
If drive train parts remain stock, there is not reason why the loss should be proportional to the power output.

If you're interested here is a very good article about drivetrain loss:
