Yeah if those aren't SAE corrected it could read higher or lower. The air was so good on my dyno day the car read almost 450 rwhp before it was SAE corrected.

OP, LMR can change your dyno runs to SAE corrected and email you the updated dyno runs. Might be interesting to see what your true numbers are?

Prob right at 390/392ish... Its about a 10 hp/tq bump. My local shop uses STD too and I ALWAYS change it, so Im getting used to the drop due to the correction factor from STD-SAE.

I agree. Knowing your base setup is a good help, and use the same dyno as you go along, or use the same model, certified dyno if at different locations. I've had pretty good cross reliability with different dyno's given the above - usually within .5 hp or so.
