If you were seeing tire smoke, you were not getting a good grip on the rollers of the dyno, and therefore were not getting accurate HP numbers. The dyno operator should have seen that and backed off the throttle to regain traction.
On the dyno chart, do you see what would appear to be a smooth upward curve, then a SHARP dip? If so, that dip could be where your tires lost traction. It doesn't have to be a deep dip. If no dip, you may have been spinning right off the line. Can't believe the dyno operator didn't see the tire smoke and know it wasn't an accurate run
