Power calculated at engine (HP) and if it really rates horsepower. I am curious if this is a true measure. Thanks, BranZ

Yes, it is meant to measure horsepower. The calculation is done via the data presented from the ALDL stream, which is relatively low in resolution. This makes an accurate calculation difficult. Additionally, there are a lot of other factors that are ignored (specific drive train losses, tire sizes, etc).

Consequently, it is a ballpark figure and should be considered for entertainment purposes.

Moates is quite the entertainer.

Hey, somebody asked for it, so it's in there. It's actually not too bad so long as you don't have crazy wheelspin.

Hey, could you put something in there that combs my hair in the morning and starts my car automatically when I leave the front door? That would be cool. :-D
