Message that the 'Denver' #s strewn about in the past are SAE #'s and are consequently incorrect, and therefore SAE/corrected charts are bogus? Is this why you posted your actual charts? It has been my understanding the the SAE charts have been closest approximation of an apples to apples comparison when comparing charts.

So in my case, for instance, where I dyno'd near sea level in Houston on a relatively hot day, I should be posting my actual numbers, since those are pretty close to the conditions I drive in on a regular basis, and to apply a correction factor would falsely DEFLATE my numbers based on your statement that correction factors are skewed towards NA applications?

Let's hear from others who dyno an a regular basis - I'm curious. Do those of us near sea level (at least) need to start claiming our actual numbers instead? Are all of those people in the industry who use SAE numbers disillusioned? Many of them I'm sure are capable of the simple mathematical equation applied to the atmosphere as Marshall has applied it. Are we missing something?
