Temp probes and test meter are Fluke. Keep the house at 78, wife sets it to 77 when I'm not around. Temp drop would be better at plenums b/c equipment and ducts are located in an unconditioned attic and over 100f. I'm not going up there to measure this time of year. I know its way off the charts for traditional a/c, I went to school , have had my master license for 14 years, repair 5 air conditioners a day everyday. Its a match up thats not supposed to happen and fortunately I had great results despite not fitting into normal operating perimeters. Currently its cooling 1200sqft comfortably and using noticeably less power than before. Might I suggest someone else try it?
