They are making some assumptions with their formulas. Mine was 100 hp higher that actual.

For another shocker on your compression ratio, plug your engine specs into this. http://www.rbracing-rsr.com/comprAdvHD.htm

True. In my case I operate at a physical altitude of 6000 ft. Occasionally weather conditions can put it as high as 10,000 ft.  Unless a calculator has some provision to allow me to manipulate the air density via altitude, it is pretty worthless to me.

Of course, I've never run my car in perfect air at sea level. Chances are it could have 100 extra horses in those conditions.
