I know its been done... but even if the intake temp is very high, what's it going to reflect with hp? I dont understand.

i belive hp is calculated through multiplication of a few variables and intake temp is one of them, so a really high intake temp will give a massive hp readout

Yes it is, but there is a thing called correction figures. so that you basically get the same Kw reading on a hot or cold day

so if the intake temps are high, its saying it's applyin the same force on a 200degree day lol

The shootout software is all temperature corrected, a normal intake air temp for a 19 degree day would be about 35 degrees, not 230degrees. cheers darren

Imagine a V8 section on a Supra or Skyline forum? Haha what V8 section on a skyline / supra forum!? lol, imagine if someone actually did that, droped an 8 into a wogbox like a R33 Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
