STD or STP. Another power correction standard determined by the SAE. This standard has been stable for a long time and is widely used in the performance industry. Power is corrected to reference conditions of 29.92 InHg (103.3 kPa) of dry air and 60 F (15.5°C). Because the reference conditions include higher pressure and cooler air than the SAE standard, these corrected power numbers will always be about 4 % higher than the SAE power numbers. Friction torque is handled in the same way as in the SAE standard.
looking good [/quote] Well that works out considering factory hp is 255 , i have made a wopping 15 hp . But if you calculate the rain we had today and the temperature drop i would say 270 hp is on the high side . Also the boost figure is wrong it should be 14 psi , only just clicked to that as that is the waste gate spring[[/quote]so taking that into account the figure would be approx 270HP using SAE correction factors.
sh*t 99gtt, you've lost nearly 40 hp in just over one page of posts... not

Surely the only dead on bulls way to measure HP accurately is on a engine dyno and at the flywheel.
In my experience with these Dyna-pack Dynos read approx. 10-15 % higher than a Dyno Dynamics and Torque Performance type Dyno's so figures will vary for example my figures I got 323 KW on a Dynapack @ 1.2 bar but on the Torque Performance Dyno running the same boost only got 280 KW.So thats 43 KW difference between those two.

Because you in put the diff ratio into the program and you use 4th gear its 4th gear on most cars is nearly 1:1, then u make sure when ur in 4th gear going 3000rpm or something u make sure the dyno is reading exactly the same rpm.

The only way to test my theory is to go to Hi-velocity or Torque Performance with the same settings and then compare the two figures I'm pretty sure your Dynapack figure will be higher than the latter.

Depends on the dyno, the way its been set up etc. It'd make more sense that Dynapacks would read higher as they don't have tires/wheels to contend with so there is less in the way - however some rolling road dynos do read higher than some Dynapacks. Dyno Dynamics dynos read quite low, though I know people who have run on Speedtech's hub dyno then run on a TP dyno and gained power from nowhere.
Dynojet dynos are a very good example of a high reading rolling road dyno - causes much confusion when researching mods from different countries as you can get skewed ideas of what you should expect on a dyno here. Look at the real world results for an indication of what something can do
