[OT] Dyno chart question

[roccolister@hotmail.com (Craig Williams)]

It's fake horsepower. ;)  Just kidding...but kinda. It is a mathmatically 
corrected figure that supposedly accounts for humidity and teperature of the 
particular day you ran on the dyno. They use it to adjust between a cool, 
dry day and a warm, humid day. On a cool day any engine will make more 
horsepower then on a hot and humid day, so the shop will give you this SAE 
Corrected number to tell you what you'd run on a cooler day.

As far as I'm concerned, it's bogus. You gotta look at the actual numbers 
you put down. If you measure at the wheels, then the only truely accurate 
number is the one at the wheels. Anything else is just hopeful. Just my 
opinion.
