So the printout/graph on all things was for "corrected" numbers to that dyno, that day, with those weather conditions.......

I've gotten over 100 engines dyno'ed over the years by various builders and at different dyno "shops" (primarily on Superflow) and they all have a column of corrected and uncorrected numbers for both HP and TQ. It's where the rubber meets the roller though we see the numbers with accounting for actual headers, exhaust, air cleaner, etc. in use.

I know the first engine on Brent's page has been on a chassis dyno so he has access to those numbers (and graphs, and corrected) if he wants it.
