What it has you do is set the weight of your car and it references that to pre determinedHP figures
So did you weigh your car on a scale and what HP did you use?

i would stilll like to know how it determines the hp from acceleration......if it configures it from the pull, then the suspension should be a factor too

All I have to set is the weight of the car and put it on my windshieldvia its suction cupand make sure its level with its internal level. It makes sure you level it before take off otherwise you wont get an acurate reading, also since it needs to see the road it only engages once you are moving, because of this it compensates for suspension. It determines Horsepower from the G's it detects from pulling 2800lbs or the weight of your specific car. The rest of how it works is beyond what I know but this is pretty much how it works.

I weighed myself at a junk yard scale at 2810lbs with me in the car. With that weight I've got 114hp stock with no mods or anything. It measures wheel horsepower not crank Horsepower. Among other things it also can detect braking distance, Cornering G's and Quarter Mile time and Speed.

yea but 114 to he wheels in an automatic isnt gonna make it that much faster
u cannot control (to an extent) how the car shifts
so u can only go as fast as te car will let u, not the other way around
i have the EXACT SAME mods put on my g-friends 1st gen auto neon
and it couldnt move out of its own way
mines on the other hand, flys..... haha, well for a n/a motor with >1500 worth of mods
haha
