Transmission: 700R4 HomeBrew, 2.4K stall

Axle/Gears: 3:73 Posi, 7.5 Soon to break

1 KPA (kiloPascals) = 0.2952999 Inches Mercury
Or if just doing Atmospheric pressure = 29.92126"
don't know why the values are slightly different but thats what I have.

For doing it for logging it would be 5V (255 counts)/29.92 = 0.11733 " per count.

Try the link in the middle of the software page called Convert. I had an ME at work give me a copy years ago. It is freeware. I use it all the time. Very handy.
