How accurate is the dash HP/TQ display?
More specifically after a tune. Has anyone compared the dash readout of the HP & TQ to a dyno test to see how close they compare? Also, does anyone know how this dash reading is calculated in the car?

I would guess that it isn't accurate at all. Probably just shows what ever you max HP is supposed to be when you mash it.

I assumed so as well...but it does not. I assumed it was just a video game type readout that would just show numbers based on throttle input, rpm's, etc... but after a tune I was surprised to see it reads higher hp & tq numbers. So it is obviously getting some kind of data from the ECU that changes the readout

I will have to go look to remember how to pull it up. Somewhere under "car/vehicle" and "sports display".

Did you ever figure this out? I am wondering the same thing. I am getting 695hp on my dash but cant get anything higher than that. Thats with stage 1 tune. I am hoping thats not accurate because i was expecting more power. What numbers are you seeing? I k ow the car has torque sensors so.ewhere and I wonder if thats what it uses for data.
