    Flow Rate vs Kpa.. Correction factor?

    I'm dialing in my 150 shot Dry system with SVO 30s and everything is looking real good thanks to the help on here. The question is:
    When I try to put in the exact Flow Rate values (calculated from Redhotsupra's xls) I type in 34.64163 (for example on 0 kpa) and hit "=" but the number that appears in the chart is 33.48293. A difference of 1.1587. (this same percentage difference for all the fields). If I type in "1" and hit "=" it gives me .99209 (for all kpa fields). I opened up a stock file from the repository and try it but come out exact.. 1=1.
    Where is it getting this "correction factor" from and how do I get rid of it?

    This is normal although I can't remember the reason why this happens.

    That was my first thought however when I downloaded someone else's file and looked, I can set the Flow rates to any number I wish.. without any percentage differences. hmmmm

    its the incriments in which the pcm can enter.
    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...

    So, I guess the real question (since I can't get rid of it) is... do I adjust the input values so that the final values are approximately correct or just leave it alone since it's close?

    your within .01 of the number your entering, I'd say that qualifies as "close enough"
