I ask. Can a HUMIDITY % difference of 35 % be culprit to a variation in a horsepower reading from let say typicall 103 kw down to 88 Kw? The high Kw reading during the low humidity(45% during cool evening) and 88 Kw reading during high humidity(70% and evening rain) ? Johansx, has you ever experienced this type of results with your electronic gadget bought from Autostyle?

Water doesnt burn and displacees air in the atmospere therefore the higher the humidity the lower the power.
Unless your engine is knock sesitive when the high humidity can act almost like water injection.
What was wrong with the dyno's weather station didnt the operator input the atmospheric conditions so that the figures were corrected?

Once my car is fixed, I will concentrate in calibrating the G-memter. Now it is only a toy to see what G's I can get trough corners... scary stuff
