Default Dynojet information.....

When the Dynojet sheet is produced, part of the information shown in the Run Conditions is the temperature. Where is that temperature coming from? Is that the intake temperature read by the MAF sensor or is it the ambient temperature around the dyno?

Temp sensor is in the stack.

What's a stack? Is that part of the Dyno where all the cords are plugged into?

The dynojet has a weather station to tell the software about the temperature, barometric pressure and humidity. It'll probably be hanging on the wall somewhere near the dyno itself.

Positioning of the weather station matters. The Thunderhill dyno's weather station is deep inside the tin shed so it reads 10F too high on sunny days, which I believe is why the readings are high

Thanks, that's exactly what I needed to know!

That's not the dyno graph I saw you turn in Falcon, here's what he really turned in.



I was wondering what him and Fred were doing in the trailer with those crayons.

Here is a rather lengthy explanation of 'SAE corrected' but you know most, if not all, of this already I'll bet. It does have a link for temperature, though.
