CONTEST : Guess the HP and WIN!

It’s the correction standard as determined by the SAE (society of automotive engineers) and used by most dyno operators that want results that are inline with baseline standards. I didn’t add that info to confuse anyone. I added it because if I didn’t, then some would think I went for higher numbers by not using correction.

It’s ok to not understand it as I don’t fully understand it either. I just know that it is the industry standard used by most operators that want a more realistic number versus an inflated one.

That’s why I’m asking. Because the weather correction standard (no matter which SAE standard you use) is based on weather at the time you are on the dyno and it’s almost never constant.

I had one of my engines on a dyno a while back and I watched the correction factor change every couple of hours. It went as high as 12% that particular day.

So if that dyno operator is correcting to 5% all the time it’s ok as long as the weather doesn’t change, or the dyno room is climate controlled.
