What's printed on the graph is STD J607 but I had a long convo with the tech about it and he showed me all the settings including SAE. SAE wasn't much different so both probably used the...

gtstorey: Indeed, that's what I think too. I just made this thread to determine whether or not this was in fact the case.

I recently dyno'd my 2004 MC SS and it reported 317 ft-lbs. Now the car...

That's not what I meant though. The standard itself (or the excerpt I read at least) explicitly mentions that a 15% loss is baked into the calculation and it even goes so far as to point out that...

I could get on board with that IF you were trying to calculate brake power of the engine. BUT, when you get a dyno you want the power to the wheels. You're measuring dyno drum power and correlating...

Dyno SAE correction math

So I'm looking at the so-called gold standard for dyno correction factors which is the 2004 update to the SAE J1349. I'm reading about how it works and it talks about assuming a mechanical...
