SR dyno question

guys, i was wondering.  the HP and torque numbers you publish for the bikes you test on your superflow, are they derived from inertia sweeps...?  or are they derived from loaded runs reading torque directly off your brake...?  also, what correction factor do these numbers correspond to...?  STD...?  SAE...?  i ask because i've been referencing the graphs (a valuable resource) to get a ballpark figure on what a bike should be making relative to my dyno (L&S not a SF).  particulary models i may see for the first time or will likely not see very many of (ie. KTM RC8).  thanks.

We use a loaded run, which adds some load from the eddy current module to the inertia of the drum. For weather, we use SAE correction factors. Our dyno reads pretty close to what you'd see on a Dynojet dyno, not sure about your L&S though.
