Add in manufacturing tolerances and there is no way to say exactly what the kv is unless you literally run your specific motor with your settings. I don't know how to say this any more plainly.
And that's also where the Wind factors in. For example, with a Y Wind, those readings are typically done with timing at 20°. However, with a D Wind, they're typically done at 0°. Plus, not all motors have the timing done on the motor. With some, the timing is ONLY adjusted through the ESC.
