Because most FC's draw very warm air from near or behind the rad, I measure ambient air temperature right at the air filter and apply the appropriate correction.

The last car we ran yesterday was an Altima 3.5 litre V6 auto, stock except for a cold-air intake. Advertised power is 245 hp. We measured 194 hp. Using 23% mechanical loss, this would be approx 251 hp at the engine which matches pretty closely. This indicates a Dynojet would report about 277 hp (10% more) which is a little unrealistic.
[the 23% mechanical loss for atumatic transmissions comes from an engine builder who has tested his engines on an engine dyno and subsequently on a cahssis dyno. He uses 18% for manual transmissions]
