What I think these places should do is write a simple tune just to remove the speed limiter before they do the dyno pull. Of course I think the car would be turning the tires at close to 170 MPH at peak RPM in 5th with 3.31's.

Actually, looks like you should be able to do a 5th gear pull with 3.73's since it will only be doing 152 mph at 7000 rpm.
Wonder why someone with 3.73's hasn't tried that?

I am guessing the fall weather is now showing its effect on horsepower numbers.

I am extremely skeptical that this is happening. Test vehicles are emissions exempt because they haven't been certified yet. Ford would not and cannot sell non-emissions cars to the public. If they are testing DI, it would be within their own engineering fleet of cars.
