Just wondering.
I know already to ignore when I get wheel spin, either that or my baby has almost 700 hp :D

Is there anyway to remove that sample other then export to excel and replot?

Forgot to add, would this be similar to a mustang dyno's reading since instead how a mustang simulates real world, it is real world and the numbers would be lower?

So basically 10% lower then a dynojet, and 10-15% for M6 and 20% for A4 drive train loss to get FWHP?

[edit]
Just asking since I pretty much have turned a new stretch of highways on ramps into my on the way to work dyno's ;)

Its one heck of a way to get the ltft for a 30-45 minute drive and then wot readings.

Also, with the HP calc, I am putting in the vehicle weight, my weigh and gas weight to get close to accurate numbers.

It will be interesting to see how close they come once I can get on the dyno with my flashscan.

I've compared the horsepower from the scanner taken during dyno runs and it matches the dyno results perfectly if you fine tune the weight of the car in EFILive.

Great then using the 3775 gto weight, 185 for me and half a tank = 100 pounds = 4060.
