Default STD vs SAE dyno differences?

I have a question about Std and SAE dyno results. I read that SAE is 60 degree temp, 0% humidity and i think it was 29.18 barometric pressure. So this test can hurt u or make you look better correct?
Lets say its 80 degrees outside and the humidity is around 70, your car would post worst results than it would with SAE corrected numbers... right?

And vice versa...

I did a dyno in 62 degree weather and it was STD, does that mean my SAE corrected could be better? The humidity was higher then 0 too..?

peace...

SAE corrected just sets a standard for comparison purposes. The numbers used in SAE are actually pretty good from a perfomance standpoint, but obviously, if you were to dyno in 30 degree weather with 0% humidity, etc, you would probably do better. Basicly, the SAE corrected sets a standard metering point.

Generally, STD numbers are always higher in my experience.

STD numbers are always higher, about 5-6% higher most of the time. About 20 rwhp off if you are considering a 400 rwhp car.
