Default Calculated HP and Torque in AP

I have a question about the calculated dyno on the AP. Does anyone know how accurate the calculated horsepower and torque reading is in the AP? Plus in the dyno, is the driver/passanger weight added to the vehicle weight for the calculation? Thanks in advance.

Don't rely on it for accurate hp and tq estimates. You can use it as a reference but don't think thats you're actuall hp/tq. It seems to read really high, IMO.

I don't know what you guys have been doing but when I tried it I got 320whp and 350tq on my stage 2 protune which is pretty darn accurate. The findings do change depending on which gear you do a pull in. Mine was a 3rd gear pull from 2000 to 7000, but I also tried a 4th gear pull with same rpms and it read 300whp and 327tq.

One thing I have noticed though is that if you release the throttle a bit earlier then the AP wants and then go WOT again, it gives you bloated number like 450whp

How do I access this feature on my AP? I haven’t come across a “Dyno” feature on mine yet?

I wouldn't expect any of those features to be accurate. 1/4 mile, 60, power estimator...I think it's there for the "fun-factor" and that is all.
