More humidity, higher altitude, and greater heat all mean less available oxygen, and therefore less power.

Just curious, but are you giys looking at SAE corrected numbers -- won't necessarily compensate, but should give you a better idea what you were putting down.

SAE correction is not gonna do much in that heat, agreed.

I saw almost identical numbers when I dyno'd in the heat a few weeks back after a Gen3 install. Waste of my time and money that day for sure. Then again if the numbers were correct, I have a nice power gain from the Gen3s, all things considered.
