Wasted your time and money.

Different day, and more importantly different dyno. Results are meaningless.

As above, ignore the result, it's meaningless comparing SRR with somewhere else.

Not sure where you get the 70% rwd, the car is awd with something like a 45 f 55 r split, this doesnt change, no matter what, 45 + 55 = 100, a 4wd rolling road will do the sums for you, the dccd doesnt change the amount of "power" it changes the torque distribution front/rear.

Also as said, use 1 type of rolling road and you will get more accurate results, you just added a different operator and rolling road type, they could have made a mess of your graph/read out.

Weather, temperature, tyre pressures, fuel, the RR itself all add up to differences.

As has been said, different day, different dyno. unlikley to get the same figures, even DD RR's that have shoot 44 still vary to some degree

I'm booked for Surrey Rolling Road in the new year anyway.
I did 3 power runs on my old car, Two of them were preformed with dccd in open and then in lock, there was no difference in hp between the two.

Why not just buy a wideband AFR gauge and check it yourself in real world driving conditions?

Buy a proper one and get the sensor boss welded into the downpipe best gauge you can have along with oil pressure.

All the wideband gauges use Bosch sensors as far as i know, most are around £150. So take your pic.
