    Ask the Dyno operator if he has the capability of reading Density Altitude or corrected elevation

    As I mentioned awhile back in this thread DA can can skew dyno #'s

    It's not my money, but it would be really interesting to try this on the stock tune vs OVtune as well.

    How many pulls are you doing?

    I thought it would be interesting to see if the combination of aftermarket CAI + OVtune would make any better results than stock intake + OVtune. Probably not, as IIRC Mat did his dyno pulls on stock intake/filter (so it's not tuned to take advantage of "better" airflow).

    Anyway, will watch the results regardless.

    After ea dyno pull , let me know this info and I'll double check the corrected elev

    Elevation

    Temperature

    Barometer in/hg

    Dew point

    Cool, good luck man.

    No more bench racing for anybody after this... either way.

    Until the next guy decides to start a thread... :)

    Yes that humidity change only being 5% difference and 5° temp change can drastically change the DA or Corrected Elevation

    You would see 500' to 1k ft change in DA

    What is DA again? How much estimated HP/TQ difference will that difference? Maybe I should run the stock intake first when conditions are better, then run the CAI afterwards to avoid the whole argument of ....
    ( Of course you saw gains because you ran the CAI when colder and less humidity, then ran the stock intake in hotter more humid conditions )

    DA is Density Altitude and is the actual corrected elev for the air at a given moment

    Now that chart you linked with the weather info , here's the DA "density altitude " or corrected elevation

    The highlighted readings with the DA figured in and using Huntington Beach elev which is 39'

    The first highlighted reading
    67° / 52° dew point / 60% humidity / 30.0 in hg barometer the DA "corrected elev " ......649'


    2nd highlighted reading 69°/52° dew point /60% humidity / 30.0 in hg barometer the DA or Corrected elev ......778'


    The 3rd or final highlighted readings 72° /52° dew point /50% humidity / 29.99 in hg barometer the DA or " corrected elev" .....981'

    So reading #1 is elev changed 649 '

    Reading #2 elev changed 739'

    Reading #3 elev changed 942'
