Dennis - This is Steve Whitbeck - Dave put together the same 598 combo that you have. what compression ratio is yours? My cam has a little longer duration than yours.

Bob and I were just comparing this engine to my 604's the other day. Too bad you didn't have a bigger set of headers on the dyno.

Not to piss anyone off but the barometer that day was 30.1 its plugged into the auto correction as 29.29 so it will add HP. I don't know why it is on the dyno sheet that way. Look at the weather history and check yourself.

It, and most all performance engine dyno's, is correcting to 29.29 and 60* dry air. This is SAE Standard J607.

If it was 30.1 actual at dyno time, then the dyno computer would actually be correcting (power) down for air pressure.The standard is lower at 29.29 But, heat, humidity, etc, could, and did, raise the correction back up.

Lower elevation, more air pressure, more power.
Higher elevation, less air pressure, less power.
Given the same heat, humidity, etc,etc

I've raced and dyno'd in weather many times below the SAE J607 standard numbers. 1200ft below sea level conditions once. Mine shaft air. Many people broke schit. LOL.
