I know there is some kind of adjustment for being at 5,000 ft, could that be related?

His dyno has some sort of competition certification, but you are past my level of understanding.
I asked if he inflated the numbers to make customers happy. he made it very clear that he did
nothing more then adjust for altitude because of some competition in Texas.

If anything he says my car will be higher on other dyno's.

No idea...

So I have been goggling the SAE 1.26.

That is the correct correction for 5200 ft.
The shop is about 5200 ft.

From what I have read my hp might be a little lower at sea level with an SAE of 1.0
but if the correction is done correctly the hp will be the same at sea level.

I do not have proof of this. I have just been reading result in google.

I make 668 corrected at/for sea level...more like 530 here at 5600ft and DA of 8k..trust me it sucks

2ooo-C5

interesting... I thought dynos accounted for that.

so will I make more HP at sea level?
I know it will have more power, but on paper will I make more power?

hell yeah you will a few pounds actually. The why I can't explain I'm to dumb for that but for sure I have seen it first hand. n/a cars have it the worst here. c6z are high 12 low 13 sec cars here and that's quick

ya... you loose a second at bandimere.

I just always thought dyno's correct for that.

they have it where it shows both

They do. That's why most of the industry uses SAE correction factors. It's correcting the actual data against a correction factor to estimate HP.

SAE numbers are what you want to stick with.

If you are in Denver and don't plan on racing at sea level pulley down as much as you can. Your car is not making **** for uncorrected horsepower at that elevation, plus your 91 octane will have more resistance to knock up there than at sea level.

In other words, because of your elevation you are putting less stress on your motor so pulley that bitch down! 590 corrected HP is nothing
