Default Correction factor on Dyno plots..??

I have been looking at a few dyno plot's lately and I have notice that the correction factor is a little off on every one that I see..some are 0.96 SAE and some are 0.97 and I have only seen one that is 1.0 SAE..??
So I would like to know which one of these would yield a higher output on the dyno..?
Thanks

Dave...what it is doing is taking your raw totals and multiplying them by .96, or reducing your numbers by 4% to account for humidity, altitude, air temp...I believe that the SAE 1.0 would be for ~72*F and a -0- elevation, higher air temperatures would cause the number to be higher than 1.0, colder temps would cause the numbers to be below 1.0. This will *theoretically* make numbers from a DynoJet here in the states read exactly what a DynoJet in Japan...remember that this is theory.

Yeah, I like it when the numbers go up but feel cheated when they go down
