One question about posting my HP numbers in my sig? Do you guys post the SAE corrected or uncorrected numbers. I'm asking cause I just got the car dyno'd this past weekend and it put out some really good numbers for just having an SLP lid and K&N air filter (324 rwhp = SAE Corrected and 347 rwhp uncorrected). I'm asking cause I want to make sure I'm staying consistant with what others on the board are posting and with what others in general use. The other question is as you know the numbers range from pull to pull so do you post the lowest, highest or take and adverage?

Sorry if this seems like a really dumb question. Any tips are appreciated.

Thanks

SAE corrected. most take the highest. your number are inline with the mods for an 02 m6.

Thanks JRP!

Although JRP is right about SAE numbers, most of us post uncorrected numbers as it's too hard to keep track of what everyone else is really making because who knows what numbers they are posting.

So I just post the uncorrected because I can

I think of it in terms of a time slip. Does anyone post corrected time slips (eg: what the e/t and mph would be at sea level)? Nope.

I posted exactly what mine did at the rear wheels at my altitude on the dyno. Didn't know about posting SAE corrected numbers and wouldn't know the conversion anyway at the moment. Anyone care to share that conversion?

Well damn I want to get to a dyno now...

SAE is nice because it allows you to compare to other cars no matter where they dyno'd. But depending on your conditions. That's what it's for, there is no SAE correction for ET's, if the correction was SAE and on your timeslip, then I'm sure more people would use that. If uncorrected numbers are higher I'm sure that's what people will put down, it looks better I guess.

But it's mostly for comparison, I don't remember the exact numbers since I don't have my sheet, but I think uncorrected I put down 240 something. If anyone saw that, they'd think something's horribly wrong with the car, unless they don't know about them being underrated . But corrected I put down 294whp, which is just about right for a stock 98 F-body.

Thanks for all the responses. I didn't want to put down one and should be putting down the other. My instinct was to put the SAE corrected readings because it did have that evening out factor, but the car did put down 23 rwhp more then that and well a bigger number does look better

There is a correction for altitude for e/t's, which is especially useful for you south west guys.

Yeah, I know there is, in fact I had to figure out the formula for it because the listed numbers don't usually go as high as our DA (sometimes over 8000ft ). But the ET correction isn't SAE, so it can't really count for anything, but it's still nice to have something.

I post corrected, it's sad if I don't.

Here in CO, my uncorrected is 244hp/258 tq.

Ant's-WS6

So your SAE corrected numbers were higher then your actual numbers? My are the opposite. I guess though in to stay consistant it seems I should post the Corrected numbers even though they are lower.

It's because of their altitude.

He did say he was CO didn't he...sorry about that

the first time i dynod all i had was lid and cat back and got 353/371(uncorrested). my next dyno was with my headers and was 338/35?(corrected). I knew my first dyno was insane so ididnt even post it.now my corrected dyno is in my sig.

i dont even know if mine is sae or not...it was 351rwhp/354rwtq...it seems a lil low to me, but then i am untuned. dyno was in tampa,fl. ill find the sheet. it says on there if its corrected or not, right?

99FormulaM6

hmm. it doesnt say exactly.
on the top right corner, above the graph, it says 'CF: SAE Smoothing: 5'
on the bottom, under the graph, it says:
Run Type:RO Run Conditions: 76.77 ºF,30.02 in-Hg, Humidity: 25%, SAE: 0.98
MAX POWER: 351.81 MAX TORQUE: 355.23

so are those numbers sae or not?

My #'s are SAE I believe. I gotta go check my dyno sheets.

Ant's-WS6

I think since it says SAE Smoothing on it, it's the corrected readings.

I think I'll just post my SAE corrected readings, seems to be the aggreed on standard. Hell I'm happy with 324 rwhp under my name....hell I was just happy it produced more power then GM rated it.

I appreciate everyone responding!
