STD vs SAE correction
I've been trying to google the difference in the 2 and can't really seem to find any formula's or anything except people on forums talking about it which one is accepted.
Can someone shed some light on the subject and tell us exactly what goes into each?
Reason I ask is because I noticed something in the dynojet files that we use in Newark, DE and was wondering if that made a difference in the numbers or not.

SAE correction "corrects" your dyno numbers to standardized temp, atmospheric pressure, etc in an attempt to make dyno runs from one day comparable to dyno runs on a different day with totally different weather conditions.
it actually works pretty well... for n/a cars. for turbo cars the air actually going into the engine is so far seperated from the actual atmospheric conditions, that SAE corrections tend to wildly overcompensate.
personally i always go by the actual uncorrected numbers...

Try this link:
Equations: Dyno Correction Factor and Relative Horsepower
Seems to give some equations and reasoning behind it.

What I was really looking for is if elevation was part of the equation at all. Because the elevation the dyno has set in WinPEP is wayyyyy off for Newark, DE.
Thanks guys!

If it's a field there, I'm going under the assumption that it may be part of the correction. It says elevation 4500ft, but if you actually google Newark, DE it says average 75 ft.
