Guys, I think the MotorTrend folks read their dynos wrong. Each lower curve matches up to an upper curve, so the correct readings are:
~405hp and ~990lb-ft (presumably with nitrous)
~410hp and ~990lb-ft, but peaking later in rpm, without nitrous
If we go by the number at the bottom of the graph, 409hp and 775lb-ft, that means the curves closer together are matched up, but...
There's no way the PS is making 350 lb-ft of torque at 2000 rpm, but also 250 hp - that's mathematically impossible.
250 hp requires: 250*5252/2500 = 525 lb-ft of torque
If we use the set of curves I proposed - match one from the lower pair to one from the upper pair, then the hp vs torque values match up perfectly.
