SAE = society of automotive engineers

SAE doesnt come into play in the 1/4... it has to do with your dyno numbers.

Standard dyno #s are what your car makes at that specific density elevation where they dyno is... SAE corrects them using a mathematical formula so that dyno #'s can be more consistent from location to location... its not perfect, but its a close enough kind of thing.

In the quarter we're talking about corrections for density altitude, meaning your car runs XX.XX&XX.XX at that track, but could run faster or slower when corrected to sea level.
