Default difference in SAE and Std
Just got my c5 back from adding my rod bolts and Ecs meth kit. Had it retuned and got my new dyno sheet and this one is in std. My other one is in sae. Could someone tell me the difference.
Went from 511 rwhp to 600rwhp.

SAE are going to be the ones you want and be real world numbers. STD numbers are going to be inflated

Yes and no, corrected SAE numbers are just that, corrected. Although most of the time they will be lower than STD, if it is a 100+ degree humid day than the correction factor may go to the plus side. So there is not a constant one way or the other. Of course SAE is the more accepted way to keep things as even as possible.

yeah sorry i should have been more clear. if i dyno mine here in vegas in 110 degree weather with SAE corrected numbers and dyno it in colorado in 60 degree weather it should put down the same numbers if SAE corrected given that both dynos are setup the same
