SU performance tuning... 1800

Torque Freaks uses the SAE correction factor, which compensates for varying air density -- that's the significant factor, not temperature (cool air is better for power because it's denser, not because it's cooler). Also for ambient barometric pressure.

We ran the MPPE on a cool morning, so the dyno penalized us 7-8 HP from what the engine was actually producing under those "illegal" conditions.
