OP, question. Not to insult you. But are you looking at these numbers to get a more accurate view of your numbers or are you trying to inflate your numbers? I would not get into the habit of using correction factors because there are a lot of factors that simply cannot be accounted for. Sure it is nice to have higher numbers. For example, I made 745 on 93 octane and 783 on 100 octane. But they were 6th gear pulls. I do mention that but I hesitate to actually call my car a 770 RWHP until I get on an actual dyno where I can have it measured in 7th. I'd like to think it is 770 or more on 93 octane and over 800 on 100 octane. But until I get it dynoed again, my numbers are 745. And that was done in the Mid-West. I could use correction factors and this and that but to me it seems useless when my dyno sheet tells me something different.

Just saying it seems like people are getting number hungry. It's one thing to be number hungry and push your build. But being number hungry to where you're using factors to artificially push bigger numbers is misleading if you ask me. Again, it is not to insult you. It's just that I have seen a lot of the import guys and Mustang guys do this stuff and really, only hardcore data and results mean anything. At the very least it ain't my cup of tea and that is just my opinion on it.
