Thanks for the clarification. I assumed you were at sea level, but I should have asked since I don't know where the test was done, so the numbers I posted are off then. The adjusted numbers should actually be higher than what was measured during your dyno run, but when I use 7500 feet, the correction factor goes all the way up to 1.33, which can't be the case really (your car can't be putting down that much power in stock form). I assumed the 1024 mb pressure figure you posted is barometric pressure, and not absolute pressure. If it is absolute pressure, then I am using the wrong number.
This is the calculator I am using:

Another explanation is that the reported numbers are already corrected for the test conditions. If that's the case, just ignore the corrected numbers I posted.
