If they have been valved incorrectly, why hasnt Evasive or another Tein vendor provided an example of a CORRECT dyno plot.
The specific curve is not a secret, proprietary or magic. No one can steal the curve just by knowing what it is. The magic is the internals and valving to get to that curve. Any suspension worth buying will have examples of their valving in a dyno curve.
Its a very simple solution to all of the speculating.

So just got back from the first track outing on these (unfortunately my getting married delayed testing).
The results were pretty much what I had expected. The car feels phenomenal. It is totally composed and never gets out of sorts despite being a non-staggered wingless car. On the new buttonwillow pavement I cut 2 sec off my previous best time (set on stock suspension) and more importantly i could get the car into situations and recover it that it never would have tolerated before.
It was also superbly comfortable for the drive up and back as an added bonus.
I also let JJ take it out for a session, but ill let him post his feedback on the setup.

I was skeptical but the car was unbelievable. I didn't go too crazy but that was as composed of a car as I've ever driven. In in no way exaggerating. Makes me want to try the PSS9 set up. If they feel like that for a couple grand that would be amazing.

Glad to hear the new valving from Guy is working out for you! I spent 20 minutes talking to him about his Penske and Bilstein options and he really knows his stuff. I think anything you spend with him is worth the money given the amount of support you get from someone so knowledgeable.
On a side note, I drove a friend's car with Evasive SRCs on Friday at the BW 13CW test day. Evasive set them up with their own settings (not sure what they were). The car felt really good! I was definitely impressed and surprised given some of the things I've heard and also given your troubles. It was very easy to drive fast with confidence on my first hot lap in an unfamiliar car. I can't help but wonder if there was some kind of issue with the valving on your set
