I'm basing my statement from meteorological facts. What was the air temp? That will dictate the maximum water vapor content. And no, rain is not water vapor, so it does not affect density altitude. Rain is liquid, it is not suspended in the air.

Water grains affect me at the track huge! I look at that as much or more than anything else.

I handle moisture issues and solve problems relating to moisture for a living. I also regularly explain these conditions to engineers and environmental people. So please just let it go. If you THINK the dyno corrects for these conditions AND that the correction is a true and accurate representation then good for you i guess. I know better. I've seen the same engine hooked to the dyno make 25 hp less on consecutive days due to weather. And it was not raining. Just humid. And besides i posted the sheet.

Ever seen an engine lose 20 hp on back-to-back days up to the same Dyno?

Great job Mike and All involved.Its fact dyno on a bad day makes less ,corrects less and you have to change tune to deal with water in the air.Bill C.

Maybe the low pressure air that is normally associated with rainy atmospheric conditions is where it went? Your engine is a bad Poncho and that's all I really care about. Congrats on keeping it together and thanks for sharing this info.

Good result Mike. I'm sure the power will show in the car.
Torque had a nice sweet spot at 7700, just like you predicted. Power was down some by your predicted peak of 8600. I can hear the turning gears in your head from Iowa. Might have been the air, but I bet you get just a little more air in and out of that thing before it ever goes on the pump again.

I know where I dyno we wait for a nice day with low humidity. If it's raining we don't do it...
Dyno operator said HP will be down 20+ HP on a really humid or rainy day... Congrats Mike! EHTTFMF!!!
