I cannot remember the baseline conditions, but you could easily look them up and see what the different correction factors are trying to change your readings into.

I got ya, but in turn I'd think that by the DynoJet trying to compensate for this I wonder if it understands that the A/F can be affected by the current climate conditions as well? Or I could be wrong in thinking that
I'm sure altitude plays a part somewhere in here as well, but I believe I had seen somewhere in there that the guy put that at 1,350'
The 91 octane I put in probably makes for shittier readings as well. I wonder what would happen if I threw a half and half mix of 100 and 91 in the tank?
