I spoke to the dealer again a few minutes ago.

Here is the conversation:

ME: Hi, this is [name], I brought in an RX-8 for a compression test about two weeks ago?
DEALER: Sure whats up?
ME: So to clarify, you just get one number from the test insturment, the kgf/cm2, put that into the computer, and it generates the rest of the numbers?
DEALER: Yes, that is correct.
ME: Well than what I find interesting is that the computer is generating different values for PSI from the same kgf/cm2 value.
DEALER: But we dont...LOOK at those. It doesn't matter, the computer generates that. Whatever math the computer uses...it could be COMPLETELY wrong, but it doesn't matter because we don't look at those numbers, we probably should have just cut those out of your results sheet.
ME: Well I'm just saying, inaccurate numbers from your computer leads me to question the validity of the test as a whole.
DEALER: Why is that?
ME: Because how do I know that the kgf/cm2 readings are correct if the other numbers are inaccurate?
DEALER:....because those are the ones we get from the...tester.
ME: I'm going to have to call back again.
DEALER: Sure.
