So when you guys post your numbers, is it the SAE corrected numbers or what the car actually put down to the wheels that day? I had my car on the dyno 2 weeks ago and it put down 331hp and 334tq. but corrected it was 350hp and 355tq. which do i go by? I've been telling people the 331hp and 334tq because corrected is kinda like the corrected quarter mile times which is a joke

Im not exactly sure what SAE stands for but I am sure its a conversion corrected for non standard tempature...Standard atmospheric tempature is 59 degrees F and 29.92in on the barometer...So when numbers are corrected they will be computed to those conditions making everyones numbers on the same playing field...Since a car performs worse in hotter air, thats why the correction numbers are higher then your standard numbers...

99% of people post the corrected numbers.. it kind of makes an attempt to standardize them for comparisons.

SAE=Society of Automotive Engineers.
The OE's now list their HP #'s in SAE on certain cars.
It can either hurt previously reported number,or help them..Which is the case for LSx based engines..GM had a habit of under-reporting.
