Default The Baseline Dyno Comparison chart & Calculator

I would like to start a collection of all the baseline dyno readings for the VQ37VHR.

The purpose is to create a "multiplier chart" to get an idea of how each dyno compares to the other. Once we have a good amount of readings, we can have a "control" dyno which will be equal to "1" on our table. That will be the dyno that everyone uses to convert their readings to a number that actually has any meaning. Once we have a pretty extensive number of readings, then someone with programming skills can make a little calculator where you just plug in your type of dyno and power of your car and it will spit out a more "universal" reading that you can actually compare to other peoples readings.

Also, once we have that "control" dyno, which will be the dyno that's the mean of all the dynos, we will have a better idea of what the actual drivetrain loss is and could very loosely calculate it.

Does that make sense to people?

So lets start collecting baseline dyno runs. You have to tell me
1) The kind of dyno.
2) The Altitude (which we will factor in eventually if theres enough data). Hopefully we can keep the readings close to sea level.
3) If possible, a ballpark ambient temperature.
3) The BASELINE reading.
