I think part of problem with trying to interpolate the numbers between the two, at least in this case is, they aren't using the same correction factor.
Most engine dynos are using the "standard" correction factor, and many of the chassis dynos use the "SAE" correction factor, which means they are correcting to different weather conditions, with the SAE correction being the poorer of the two, so the numbers are lower.

So, the 920 fwhp was standard corrected hp, and the 778 rwhp was SAE corrected hp.

I can't recall if there is a humidity factor in the SAE correction or not, but iirc, the temp is 77deg, and the baro is 29.38, whereas the Standard correction uses 60deg and 29.92 baro, and zero humidity.


Both use 0% humidity. SAE 1349 is 29.23.

Are you calling J607 as "standard"? I does give the highest results (most optimistic atmospheric conditions) and seems to be the norm used in the aftermarket hot rod industry.
