uncorrected is the dyno numbers u read right then and now.
but correccted is a converted number from standard variables like
temperature, humidity and stuff like that....

you standardize 1/4 mile times for the standard temperature and humidity and track
conditions too... like in NJ etown would be really cold in the fall
and CALI wouldn't be nor Texas

other variables include atmospheric pressure, which varies with height

also on cold days the uncorrected numbers usually tend to be higher then corrected, and on hot days (80+ F) its the corrected # that are higher......

bascially you want one standard to compare the power your car makes, therefore you adjust variables accordingly...
