I'll save everyone the boring dyno and just tell you:

258hp and 233 ft-lbs of torque.

Not too shabby. 52hp of drivetrain loss. They didn't get the hit peak so I'm guessing technically they could have got a tad bit more HP. Judging from the characteristics of the chart it seems like the HP would have continued to go up. Nice flat torque curve and very even increase in HP.
