So as far as gains go, the numbers should be pretty accurate. As far as overall peak horsepower numbers go, the temperature difference had a big impact. My peak numbers with the Berk HFCs back in February was 299whp. Power wise, nothing on the car changed between that dyno and the baseline I did in August, but the baseline in August was only 282whp average. So basically the only thing the temperature effected was the peak numbers, not the gains since both tests were done back to back with baseline numbers.
Awesome! Puts those gains into perspective.
