SAE corrections are there to bring all the atmospheric factors to an even playing field. SAE allows hippies in a park in Boulder, CO on a 50deg day to turn in results that are actually relevant to the results that I might put down at 45 feet above sea level on a 100deg day. With std ratings you are usually pretty close to SAE if the temperature, pressure, humidity and altitude are all reasonable. Since you did your run at night, I'd call it about even unless it was really hot. Some people don't like SAE corrections because it makes them feel bad when they dyno on a cold day during high barometric pressure & low humidity.

yeah it was like 80deg and i remember it was alittle humid cause i kept saying it was warm and sweating(love the south) alittle before the dyno run. Also i drove 2 1/2 hours, then drove it another 20 mins to get to Robs, it sat for an hour, then it was dyno'd, cool off/adjusting was about 6-8 mins and then another run. I acutally liked the first run i had 288.18 HP and 368.73 TQ, that's pretty good for someone with a laptop, under the carport and doing second gear runs. I almost didn't need the dyno tune, it was running a tad rich, so they leaned it back down and added somemore timing and then i got the 289 and 366.
all i know is, i'm impressed with the numbers and can't wait to see what i will have with a 5.4 intake and some cams. Also when i go to the track and everyone is like, oh a 97 non pi, heavy a$$ convertible...it's probably slow.
After i run a kick ass time on my mickey thompsons, i'll tell them it's all tire.
