He didn't pull much on the other L which only had an upper pulley and a CAI so looks reasonable to me. An upper pulley swap is only worth a couple PSI so a 6# pullied truck should pull it like that. As for the others, well they shouldn't play lightning or they might be shocked.

Looks legit to me. The rolls were from Lightning friendly speeds. Also, you have to keep in mind how Lightnings make their power... gobs down-low to launch and pull hard, but followed by a harsh drop after peak power is made due to the nature of the Eaton and the heat it produces. Notice how the Stang is reeling in the Lightning... its because they're better suited in the long end.
