Horsepower Estimate?

Indeed.

It got fixed after one of the Enginmasters competitions.
Initially, the prelims were done at 3 locations.
It was something like the best 3 from each location would meet up at Westech for a shoot out.
The entries from the other two locations miraculously picked up a bunch of power on the Westech dyno.

Then there was some statement made regarding some anomalous weather system, and that was the reason for the discrepancy……….but then at some point after that the story became, the barometer being used at Westech was pretty far off.

I seem to recall that with the new barometer readings, the power numbers were about 5% lower.
But……..I saw some old tests from there where 5% lower numbers would have still seemed too high.

I've monkeyed with the weather station in a dyno a few times to make the corrected numbers look a bunch better than they should be. Had a customer at the shop wanting X hp and it was close but not there. :) An old vicks vaporizer does wonders to a correction factor. Real temp 70 and 15% humidity 29 in. What the dyno thought 115, 80-90% humidity... correction factor way up. LOL

Before I learned how to get into the software and change up the code!
