Maybe I should see if they'll fly you in to do training...  : )

Somehow the machine in its standard form was able to determine ambient
environmentals.  If it's able to measure that, then it should have enough
information to normalize the data.  So I need to ask the question, however
I'm afraid they might not know what I'm talking about.  Assuming you were
able to view the graphs okay, there is one piece of information listed
called STD: 1.04 that I don't understand.

In my specific case, hotter conditions will rob the car of HP.  Do you
have any idea how much HP is lost at 91.5 F and 58% humidity?

One more thing.  On the 4th run, he put a big 'ole fan in front of the
radiator to help cool the engine.  It obviously made no difference.
