The printouts I saw all had "STD Corrected" on them, so I just assumed that's how it's done...

I know air density/elevation plays a big part in HP... Down here in Louisiana at sea level it's one thing,other areas are another.......I used to drag race my street car a fair bit down here and one year went to Tulsa for the Shelby meet and ran it there.....I was 4/10ths off my "normal" time and asked others if saw the same thing, one big time racer said that was normal because of the elevation change....
I couldn't believe that would make that much difference, but it does....
