Perhaps he forgot to install the shorter serpentine belt required to make the kit working?
+1 ^^^^

The dyno baseline test was on 10/22/16 whereas the UDP test was on 11/26/16. The temp and humidity correction (or poor correction) could easily result in a margin of error equal to the magnitude of the difference under test (3-5hp).

He needed to do a baseline and the UDP test on two consecutive days at the same time of day when the weather was generally constant to be able to accurately measure the difference.
