It really comes down to different dynos and different gears. The JMM dyno is an older one so it runs autos in 2nd gear. Most newer dyno dynamics run in 3rd gear. As a dyno simply takes torque and converts it to power through a complex set of formulas it goes without saying that running in 2nd will produce a better torque figure at the rear wheels than running in 3rd. At least thats my understanding of it.
In the end I'm not at all worried about it. The car is still the same car, it still runs a 6.xx second 0-100 and a 15.0 1/4 mile.
A dyno is a toll for tuning, nothing more. So long as the "after" figure is better than the "before" figure I'm happy. This is one thing JMM have never failed to do, it always leaves there running higher numbers. Now how that translates on each different dyno really doesnt concern me, just so long as it keeps improving.
