OK, so from linking off your page at http://www.volks-motorsports.com/Chips-Rockers.html I see that the manufacturer claims that at 4,000 rpm you go from 57hp to 73hp, a 27% increase in power.

I also see that on your chart there is not a correlation between the chart on http://www.volks-motorsports.com/NewDynoResults.html and the numbers at the bottom of the page. Somebody boobed the key or something.

1. What is "corrected crank horsepower" mean. Who corrected what?

2. Why does the graph represent "corrected crank HP" as being nearly identical to "crank HP" whereas in the number chart at the bottom of the page these curves are very far apart?

3. Which of the numbers in your chart are supposed to be equivalent to the numbers in the UK chart?
