Brent, when you go to the dyno try to get some weather information.  I will use that to calculate the correction factor for STP conditions.  I will need barometric pressure shown by the dyno, humidity, temperature of the air going into the engine, and the address of the dyno shop (I can use the address to plug into Google Earth to get an elevation of the dyno shop, and then find a nearby airport to get their barometric pressure, and see if those two values combined match up to the barometric pressure shown by the dyno).

The STP correction factor won't have an inertia factor built in, so if it is a DTS dyno then the STP correction factor will probably be a little lower than the dyno's correction factor, assuming all other values are equal.  My opinion, though, is that the inertia factor isn't really a valid correction, so I like to be able to calculate the STP correction factor, which is purely weather related.

I assume you will post the raw data and the corrected data?

No, I had a set of T&D streets earmarked for this build before my rockers came out.
