In the spring and fall, when temps are in the 50-60 degree range, I max the maf (60 lb/min) anywhere from 5700-6000rpms.
During summer, when it's 90-100 degrees, The highest number I see is around 54 lb/min.
So on my setup, I'd say 80 flywheel hp for a 30-40 degree difference.

I really didnt think about boosted applications. I do know that I dynoed the same thing here in ga no matter what the temp was(have dynoed a total of 5 times here in the heat and the cold), this was all sae corrected. Then I went all the way to futral motorsports and dynoed the same thing there as I did here in ga. I am sure that Allan can answer your question better than any of us can though.
